Company protects poor managers, overall very poor and laissez-faire management

Pros

Bagels and coffee are provided. Relaxed atmosphere Low expectations for work performance.

Cons

Some of the most incompetent people are here. I have seen people who are unable to do their jobs and unable to provide any value to anyone get promoted to management. This has happened multiple times and the company looks the other way. The management of the product, engineering, and QA organizations are selfish, political, and do not work as a team. Many people seem to be out only for themselves and promotions for themselves. The company brings in a lot of people from Oracle and it shows. Management lacks clarity on goals, knowledge on their subject areas, and seeks more for information that they can make look good for their superiors, even if it is a lie, than they do in trying to add any value to the business.
