Pros

Industry standard compensation derived from "compa-ratio".

A little better work-life balance than I've seen elsewhere.

Cons

I have experienced very weak management; generally, I often feel I know more than them and they make bad decisions.

However, management in most other departments look incredible. So it may be just my microscopic experience and my advice should be just to steer clear of my team.

Advice to Management

Do not promote to management people who everyone complains about and nobody who has worked with them previously have faith in.
