Pros

Very casual and everyone was really friendly. Schedules were flexible.

Cons

Very difficult to move up the ladder if you're not friends with the management. Very strict at the same time and if management did like you, you'd be cornered to resigned or they would find reasons to fire you.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
