Pros

There was genuinely nothing positive about working here. Even the compensation was not worth the frustration.

Cons

Ineffective management, absolutely zero autonomy given to subject matter experts, unrealistic expectations and timelines, horrible processes solely for process sake, constantly changing priorities, and little value places in their most valuable employees.
