Pros

Flexible work schedule, opportunity to work on interesting projects, the middle management has some very qualified and driven individuals, the staff is very nice and professional

Cons

The senior leadership is absolutely atrocious. There is no clear vision and they set lofty goals (which they will not tell you) but it is clear it is impossible to achieve since they ask us to do more once we do achieve our "goal". They are driven by cash flows and play shell games to cover up their numbers. Senior leadership does not communicate to minions and they are only in it for themself. Very top heavy organization who look out for themselves and their "good old boy" network.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
