Pros

Relatively good benefits compared to an average non-tech company.

Cons

Higher management is doing a terrible job. Things are always running in an urgency mode.

There was a data breach, then hold a 3-day security training. There are incidents, schedule meetings. Discrimination issues? Schedule a meeting and be done with it.

No real long-term planning. Morale is low. Some teams are working 80-hour weeks and some teams work 1-hour weeks.

Advice to Management

Do your job well.
