      Cutting edge technology. Lousy human values from leadership.

      Pros

      Cutting edge technology. Robust infrastructure for development, code, review, and deployment process.

      Cons

      Leadership does not place high value on respecting employees. Often heard the top level director of my org yelling and even cursing at lower level employees. Also it is not uncommon for an employee to be on the "in trouble and needs to improve" list and not be told.
