Pros

Alright, pay, benefits, and work times.

Cons

Directionless ship, the entire company seems to be run by middle managers who don't know what they're doing, leading to separate divisions doing contradictory things.

UI is designed in PowerPoint. The codebase is ancient and nobody understands it. Useless features get requested and bugs never get fixed.

Advice to Management

Consider somebody who isn't a mere salesman to take the helm, but an actual software engineer. This isn't working.
