Pros

Not too busy with the job. The work atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Quite a bit of freedom on how to complete tasks.

Cons

Work was many times meaningless. Why put effort if results were wasted? Management didn't understand what they wanted to create. Managers spent a lot of money for their own good, for example, on business trips without any agenda. Managers didn't have any competence.

Advice to Management

Get real leaders who can put the company on track and fire a bunch of useless mid-level managers. The company was full of good engineers, but the managers had no idea what was going on.
