Pros

Good pay, potential for quick career growth if your main strength is duplicity.

Cons

Management spends all its time competing for power. Employee careers, project planning, and company direction are nothing more than pawns.

Promotions are random. You'll be swapped from project to project without time to complete any, and you'll be told exactly whatever your manager thinks will keep you working, no matter how true it is.

Your manager will usually disregard your feedback. You will never get a straight answer, and you can't believe anything you hear from anyone.

Advice to Management

The root of all this short-sightedness and duplicity is salespeople.

Five years ago, you needed to stop letting them drive the company. Today, it's too late.

Also, stop asking negative Glassdoor reviewers to contact you by email non-anonymously. That is ludicrous.

You don't expect candid feedback that way, so you are obviously looking to retaliate.
