Pros

Compensation and stock option

Get to work with some smart people.

Cons

Toxic work culture

Rampant nepotism and authoritarianism exist in some departments. Literally, all the new hires are from the same team and company, creating a "mafia culture" with a multi-level hierarchy.

HR is toothless.

Managers just bulldoze their agenda with little consideration for the team.

Advice to Management

Just keep an eye on what monsters you have seated in the top positions in IT.

Need to clean the house before the damage becomes irreversible and starts impacting other departments.
