Good Perks, Terrible Management

Pros: Great pay.
Good hours.
Beautiful campus.
Cons: Upper management is really stupid. They continuously revoke headcount midway through the hiring process. They can't come up with a strategy that will last more than a quarter. I'm honestly surprised they can keep the lights on, let alone run a company.
