Pros

There are some good people there, but bad management. The tech division in particular has no direction.

Decent pay.

Someone will probably come along and buy the remains at some point.

Cons

Internal policies and procedures are followed or abandoned on a whim.

Terrible project management skills in leadership.

Total lack of direction.

What is the difference between a Manager, Sr. Manager, and a Director? Nothing, because those titles are random and arbitrary.

Highly political. The best way to rise is to suck up to your manager. Don't ever rock the boat.

Advice to Management

Stop having HR and Recruiting put fake reviews on GlassDoor. I remember being in a dept meeting where we were all asked to make nice reviews on GD. Obviously no one did it, and so here's a wave of obvious fakes.

Get a real CTO and whip your Tech Org into shape. Clean house in middle management. Anyone in leadership who's been there 3+ years and hasn't moved the needle needs to go.
