run by egos, not brains

Pros: met some remarkable, intelligent, and insightful colleagues.
Many engineers, developers, and quants are brilliant.
PLM is a force of nature.
Cons: The company is run by dullards at the top.
Antagonistic, either.
The few times good engineering leads are hired, the (mis)management team goes full retard.
