Pros

Company culture is good, friendly people to work with

Cons

Management compensates for their flaws by being very controlling (not given any schedule freedom, watching the clock, texting/being on the phone is frowned upon, restrictions on who you can talk to/what you can say outside the group and on emails). Manager loses temper, is quick to call you out in front of the team, but never in front of other teams as it makes him look bad. Makes the working environment hostile. A lot of this seems to be happening at the director level and higher levels too.

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
