Pros
Good product when it works
Cons
C's and other execs need to stop giving away free services. If it's a good product that customers want and value, then they should be more than willing to pay to get it. If the company didn't give away *millions* in free services each year then perhaps the company could pay more competitive salaries and avoid layoffs. Execs also can't make up their mind. Changes are made from the top down by people who have no understanding of reality, and those who do the work are given a week or so to 'make it happen', and once everyone scrambles to put in place the changes, execs realize it's not working and change again. Whatever changes are made can be counted upon to be changed again within 3-6 months. They are not forward thinking, nor is there a real roadmap. Management style is a dictatorship - trickles from the top down. What Alex or Basti say, goes. No reasoning or rationale. They only like robots who will carry out their demands. Anyone who is hired with a brain is forced out because anyone with a brain (think experience) can see that the requested changes won't work. No pushback is allowed. If Alex or Basti said it...just do it. If you want to drink the coolaid and just do what you're told, great company. If you are experienced and have been around in the corporate world for any length of time - find another place to work, unless again you're thirsty and just want coolaid.
