Pros
Actually it's been equal parts farce and tragedy since Florida man took over this once proud company. Turnover is north of 30% and entire practice groups are exiting from the toxic leadership and communication style of Florida man. It's felt like an enemy occupation ever since this ownership group took over. Some nice, knowledgeable engineers, scientists, and support staff. Individual offices, close to Old Orchard and forest preserves. Engineers starting here go on to much bigger things elsewhere. When the department head inevitably gets fed up and bails, the next in line gets a chance to advance their career. Rinse, cycle, repeat.
Cons
To be fair, this co. was declining long before Florida man and his cronies took over the company in an insiders deal but rather than being the change agent little big man imagines himself to be, he's a trumpist bully who alienates and offends everyone around him. Contemp is his default mode, always quick to point fingers or talk over people. Stand up to him and he'll dislike you. He will lie to your face and insult you behind your back. I've been witness to every type of ism while there: Racism, Ageism, Sexism falling out of his big Machiavellian mouth. Acts like his money sets him above everyone, born on third base, convinced he hit a triple.
