Pros

Great, caring employees (outside of leadership team)

Cons

I've been at this company through several mergers and changes of leadership. I'm not sure the company will survive the current leadership team, however. They love to brag about themselves, but they don't know anything about our industry and are driving our business into the ground. In the two years they have run the company, it has become an "old boys club" of cronyism where every upper level position is filled with one of the CEO or COO's old buddies, not someone who knows what they are doing. There is no meritocracy anymore, and no room to move up for those who are working hard. Senior level positions aren't posted, just filled with another good ole boy with a big salary, and there is no money for raises for the people actually working. Also, because the new leaders don't have any knowledge about the industry, they make bad decisions that have caused our sales to drop at a time when there is unprecedented technology money in grants to be had. It's sad to see a company I have cared about in this shape, but leadership this bad can ruin a good place. If you're considering this place, keep looking. You won't be happy here.
