Cons
The CEO likes to micromanage, going from project to project. It's called the M-Bomb and many folks (but not white males) have been demoted or chased out of the company for not working on what he he considers as important. On the other hand, white males are allowed to make huge revenue-impacting mistakes yet not asked to resign. Despite all the talk about openness, communication as oxygen, pay transparency does not exist, and management actively shuts down related efforts. Anything you say publicly in internal communications can and will be used against you. Many folks whom stood up to the management/CEO have been "let go". An entire team can be cut in one day without so much as a warning, no PIP, no documented warnings. Just gone like that, and an outright lie provided as the justification which no one believes. This is a company whose culture used to be a shining example of how to run a company. It is now on the downhill and everyone is looking over their shoulders because you could be next on the arbitrary layoff list. Little room for growth. Team Lead is a "volunteer" position, with no corresponding pay increase but you're expected to do more.
