Pros

The work can be challenging. The pay is good.

Cons

Very nepotistic culture.

It used to be about building the technology, but now everything is so political.

So many hidden decisions and conversations. The project you're currently working on is probably already canned, but you won't be informed until we're about to make the knowledge public.

I've been spending ~80% of my time the past few months just writing documents. There are no opportunities for me to create anything anymore.

Advice to Management

There is so much lack of direction from management that people on the ground are constantly bickering about the direction we're supposed to be heading in.

Management, please gather your peers and define what the next three years are planned to look like.
