Pros

-There are still some nice people around -Somehow the company is still successful -Lots of travel opportunities if you want it, although fun is not allowed so that might be gone rather soon.

Cons

-Getting sent abroad for business purposes on tourist visas is bad ok? I'm pretty sure this is against your own code of conduct , the law etc. etc. -No career opportunities, going above and beyond is actively discouraged because of insecure people who fear you are stealing their job. There's also cases of internal applicants being told to un-apply for a position. -Only managers, no leaders. Despotism through spreadsheets, they pretend to be data-driven but they don't understand the first thing about statistics at all. -Gloriously hypocritical behavior all over. "Do as I say not as I do" is the new corporate slogan. -Salary is less than stellar. -Constructive criticism is ignored at best, at worst you will find yourself without a job. -Corporate buzzwords everywhere.
