Pros

- None other than the warm aesthetics of the small office.

Cons

- The fundamental problem with this corporation lies within the management structure, which begins and ends with the CEO. - The CEO expresses that he does not micromanage - but this seems to only be his attempt to rationalize his insecurity on how transparently he nitpicks areas out of his expertise. - It is highly evident that the CEO is employing a model that harbors high turnover rates...he attracts talent for as cheap as possible and extracts as much work out of the talent before they become overwhelmed. He repeats this process in order to keep human capital costs low. - The CEO is noted for saying "Well, that's what you think you are worth." - very condescending. - The CEO outright lies to clients and potential hires - examples include unrealistic project timelines and falsely telling interviewees they will come in again for another meeting. - The work environment leads to a high level of resignations due to unethical agenda items and an unnecessary amount of stress.
