Pros
- It is well located
Cons
- Much of the Director level is comically inept and toxic. They circlejerk as if they were all geniuses while everyone else laughs at them quietly behind their backs - Managers cow to directors and have been trained to be Yes men - VPs discipline Directors in front of their team; employees get punished for taking initiative; and several Directors simply don't have the technical skills to do their job let alone coach a team... Their teams know it, but their superiors don't. A common refrain is "This is how Director X said to do it", which is acknowledged with a knowing smile - The VP tier, some of whom are competent, seem to have no idea what's happening on the ground - Politics are thick. Everyone knows they're on a sinking ship. Rather than innovate, they're too busy building empires and rearranging the deck chairs - Absolutely no training. You're just supposed to know. - If you're looking to learn bad habits, this is the organization for you. They do everything wrong, from technical architecture to Agile Scrum. And since they refuse to pay for training, it never gets better. The organization has roughly a second year university level of understanding of just about everything they do
