Pros

- Great colleagues (management not included) - Good office building with free parking (not very full though since latest 25 people lay offs) - Nice perks

Cons

- Poor senior management (certain people hired in positions with team management duties, should have never been allowed to manage teams) - Tons of processes, very few followed, especially regarding lay offs - Special (not in a good way) kind of toxic environment. Appearing friendly, helpful and eager to listen and help while at the same time plotting where exactly to stick the knife in your back - No sense of how product management is supposed to work. Generating a new idea for a process every month and changing way of working, altering deadlines on the fly and totally disregarding work-life balance in the process - Asking people to perform tasks outside of the role they were hired for (hidden under the umbrella of "we should all do everything and help our team" which is not about helping the team but helping directors and senior managers to never having to deal with defining roles or distinguishing between them) - Eager to get feedback through one on ones (when they are held), only to use it against you when it suits them.
