      Don’t bother

      Pros

      Decent Designs, good team efforts

      Cons

      Where to begin. President is a narcissist jerk to most people. Plays favorites and retaliates against people he doesn’t like. Runs the place like a dictatorship and has turned a once good firm into a joke. Sexism is real, and senior leaders are both full of themselves as well as afraid to cross the President. If you get on someone’s bad side you’ll be gone for. Either they’ll let you go or make you so miserable you want to leave anyway. Run away and don’t look back.
