Unethical Conduct by Management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedules, middle of the road compensation, full suite of corporate benefits, acceptable facilities, clear focus on safety, strong work/life balance, nobody gets fired (for better or worse)

Cons

I watched my manager engage in unethical and illegal conduct. Was reported to legal, but no visible action was taken. The lawyers tried to cover up what happened and instructed everyone that their confidentiality agreements precluded them from discussing what happened further. It was upsetting to see the lack of responsibility and transparency.
