      Pros

      Highly political, nepotistic and dysfunctional organization. Favoritism reeks at every level. Broken product. Upper & middle management is a mess.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

      Cons

      Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
