Pros
- A kind, talented team of employees
Cons
- Lack of transparent communication from management to staff - Disorganized, mercurial leadership, resulting in multiple company-wide reorgs in the span of a few years - Tendency to hire middle managers rather than lower-level employees, leaving departments under-staffed and over-worked - High employee turnover rate, causing lack of institutional memory - Hazy job parameters - Expectation to figure things out yourself, often without guidance or instruction - Constant "everything is on fire" mentality, resulting in obligatory long hours - Toxic "pass the buck down" blame culture - No standardized performance review process - No real career growth opportunities - Temperamental CEO whose ever-changing moods create a volatile, uncomfortable work environment
