Burn out with decent pay. Horrible place to work. You are a replacement part

Pros

Challenging. Innovative. Iterates to perfection. Customer centric. Opportunities to roll up your sleeves and get work done.

Cons

Bureaucratic. Overburdens employees. Cheap, not frugal. No direction. Got to figure out everything on your own. I can't imagine having less work-life balance. Good money but awful work/life balance, hours, and pressure.

Advice to Management

Hire for the work needed rather than assign work to whomever is available. HR needs improvement. No ethics!
