Great engineers, Dictatorship like senior management

Pros

Great Engineers, talented, efficient, extremely hard working. It's overall a very motivated environment.

Cons

Very unprofessional management. Bad people skills. Some upper/senior management has no idea how to manage, extremely micromanagement (very low efficiency). Even criticize other management colleagues behind scene. No respect for engineers. Always trying to show their "superior" knowledge in a very detailed problem, but usually never able to solve it. Always think what engineers doing is a very simple problem without realizing the complexity of the problem. Please leave those things to your technical directors.

Pros

there are some nice peple there

Cons

Management treats employees horribly. If you want employees to work long hours (days+nights+weekends, which are expected) you need to appreciate them for the efforts, not threaten them if they don't work more. Executives and senior management threaten and yell at employees all the time. Employees are intimidated to speak up if there is an issue. A collaborative and creative work environment is near impossible there. This behavior by executives shouldn't be tolerated, but HR doesn't do anything to help. They need to fire the President and get a real one who knows how to run a company.

Pros

Good place to learn a lot in short period of time. Team is very good technically and a bunch of smart people.

Cons

Long hours, aggressive schedules, unprofessional management that does not respect the employees, no balance between work and life, unreasonable work load and short time given to complete it, managers/Directors that claim credit for collective success and deflect blame to the team for failures, dirty politics, people are rewarded for being nasty and pushing the unreasonable deadlines, an ass kissing culture, managers/directors have balanced life compared to employees
