Pros

The company is going through a major upgrade - products, process, etc.... Customer base is solid and they know why they love us. You can step in and make a difference if you are comfortable in a highly changing environment

Cons

Change is hard - made harder when decision triggers are not pulled. This is a very distributed company - majority of employees are outside of HQ location - collaboration tools are old. Spend (some) time celebrating success and people.

Seek a meaningful career elsewhere!

The most non-collaborative work environment ever with high pressure and no support from manager. The team environment is about ranking to avoid the next layoff.
