Pros

Used to be a great place to be. Awesome smart people, fun environment, I loved going to work everyday.

Cons

There are so many I don't even know where to start. Upper management who make decisions without understanding the ins and outs of what the teams are dealing with, so there are no solutions, just added problems and bad decisions. Major unhappiness with everyone I know still here, they all want to leave because they feel unappreciated, and overworked. There are people who have left who we will not be able to replace, but the company doesn't understand that high level technical people with these skills are very very difficult to find. Staff is pushed hard, expected to do more with absolutely no support to justify the goals set. New management with no understanding or background in our industry, but set expectations that aren't in line with our capabilities because of no resources. Understaffed, under resourced, pie in the sky ideas with no concrete strategic plan that will get us there.
