Pros

We're allowed to work from home during weekends and holidays.

Cons
  • Failing business.
  • 70 hour work weeks.
  • Constant politics with teams and leaders undermining each other.
  • Non-technical executives imposing technical solutions based on the buzzword of the day.
  • Personal branding and self-promotion is encouraged, so lots of clueless web developers are given "leadership" on major projects they are unsuitable for.
Advice to Management

Sell your stock ASAP and get out fast, when this ship goes down, we're all going to look like fools.
