Pros

Smart co-workers Work-life balance Stable job security

Cons

Playing politics is the only way you'll get promoted.

The company doesn't seem to know what direction it wants to go.

Management only rewards the loudest people in the room.

Stack ranking is a terrible way to manage performance.

A lot of needless bureaucracy and processes.

Advice to Management

Get rid of stack ranking. All it does is make people want to do "visible" work to advance their careers, not work that actually solves problems for customers.
