Pros

I was with the company for 10 years and it felt like a family. We grew so much together. By far the best company I've worked for in my career path.

Cons

Very few cons other than the usual financial goals being prioritized upon the CEO changing

Pros

Pay, Remote, and Flexible schedule?

Cons

Management. The lady is technologically inept, sometimes uses technical terms loosely and can throw the listener off track. The onboarding is nil. She doesn’t know the infrastructure/posture and the one person (small IT team) that you’d think you can go to for said information, is a troll. Literally refuses to knowledge share, belittles me and then insults my intelligence… for days on, mind you. After reporting this to my manager, she let it slide. As if this is okay behavior. This is an incredibly toxic team, this IT team, exclusively. Lastly, there’s two other team members, based out of India, amongst a couple more outside of our team, who cannot get into dialogue with the human troll because of his “etiquette”. This makes it impossible to have successful team meetings. Ultimately to manage the team as a single unit.
