Pros

There are a few pros: play the game, play politics, and more. If you are good at it, you will be rewarded and promoted.

Some smart engineers.

Benefits are okay.

Cons
  • Too political.
  • No recognition for people who work hard and sincerely.
  • Middle management is incompetent and inconsistent (a bunch of no-do-gooders, honestly).
  • Polarized environment.
  • The company's core values, Integrity, Collegiality, and Rationality – gone with the wind.
  • Boring software, obsolete technologies and architecture.
  • Looking for direction; absolutely nothing organic.
Advice to Management

Evaluate your middle management. Who and what are they doing?
