Micromanaging at its finest.

Pros

Financially stable company, compensation has been relatively fair, nice fitness facilities, and decent work-life balance as long as you fight to maintain it.

Cons

Previously a relatively positive work environment and I enjoyed the overall culture and camaraderie amongst coworkers. Unfortunately, in recent times (i.e. since merging) it's become a toxic environment, insanely political (favoritism/nepotism is rampant), and micromanaging is at an all-time high. This ultimately bars individuals from making decisions autonomously and inhibits them from actually carrying out tasks/activities in a timely manner as there are constant blocks from management. The list of flaws is a long one, which is unfortunate. Ultimately , the cons outweigh the pros...
