Great people, terrible upper management.

Pros

Handful of great and talented people. There is also so much to learn from the people.

Cons

Growth is non-existent in this company. If you don’t kiss up to upper management, you won’t get a promotion/raise. Way too much politics within the company. Nepotism is a huge issue. Internal positions open up just for them to hire someone they already had in mind, which doesn’t give other employees a fair chance. Higher-ups are too far up in the ladder that they don’t know what goes on below them. Way overworked and underpaid.
