Pros

Coworkers were wonderful, pay was competitive (but not worth the toll the mismanagement of the company took on you)

Cons

While the other employees were exceptional and created a positive work environment, the behavior and professionalism of upper management fell significantly short, engaging in bullying and targeted behavior that would make any HR department cringe. This lack of leadership is detrimental to the team's overall success, and financial transparency is non-existent. It felt like a constant massaging of numbers to look good to investors. The whole company is run like a weird club where, if you were "in", you were untouchable. But if you managed to be "out," you were toast. Backchanneling, gossip, and favoritism are rampant. It was appalling to see so many talented individuals driven out of the company with no regard for the damage being caused or the potential HR/State Labor Law repercussions that could (and eventually will) occur.
