Pros

Local management is good. Technologies used are mostly what I want to work with.

Cons

Upper management has no idea what they are doing. Most recent major example was deciding to lay off a huge percentage of IT employees in the US and hire new ones in Beijing. They lost decades (centuries?) of experience doing this and did not even consider that in Beijing the employees get paid triple time for working outside normal business hours (so 24 hour support would cost a ton).

Pros

Some of the direct Managers and team members but only because everyone sticks together because there constantly change and unclear expectations from upper management.

Cons

*Unclear commissions spread across multiple tracking systems that don't line up including sales done on various salesforce portals. Many teams members gave up trying to track or follow up because we were so busy. *They treat businesses like dollar signs and employees like numbers. *They "laid off" managers on the Tax/Audit team, some who had been with the company for decades and were the most supportive of their teams. *They are focused on buying up other software companies and products without having any protocols or streamlines in place for them, not to mention they still haven't properly done so for acquisitions in the last 5+ years.
