Trust that your employees are competent.
Pros
Good dev team, with some skilled team members. The company used to provide free breakfast for the developers. Potential to grow the product and become the market leader with improvements in the upper management for the dev team.
Cons
A lot if micromanagement on the dev side even though management works remotely. Management is really out of touch with the product and the team. Unfortunately, a lot of racial tension (dev upper management hasn’t heard of title VII). After acquiring a new company, every minority developer left within 3 months of the acquisition. Project managers not far behind. If you are a minority, don’t even try to take a day off to go to the doctor, you will end up with 30 emails demanding you come back in to work. Or maybe management will ask one of the other devs to keep an eye on you and report back to make sure you are actually working. Either way, if you are brown, run fast. You’ll probably get paid more somewhere else anyway.
