Pros
- People. I met some of my best friends at Greater Than One. - Free food. Fully stocked kitchen made getting lunch everyday really easy. - A few senior leaders act as champions for the junior staff who do not feel comfortable sticking up for themselves when bullied by other management. - Wine and Beer Fridays (happy hours). Friday afternoons were pretty relaxing and fun.
Cons
- Executive management doesn't manage well. Employees are promoted into positions with no proper training and don't know how to manage their people (or projects). - Work/life balance is laughable at best. The expectation is presented to employees, mainly junior staff, that you must work until the wee hours of the morning to be considered a "good employee". People use "I was here late last night" or "I worked over the weekend" as some weird badge of honor. Stop it. It's not about working longer or harder, it's about working smarter. - Completely unorganized. There is no process for the completion of tasks across teams which makes it impossible to complete work in an organized, efficient, and correct manner.
