Pros
They didn't make it public, but a lot of people can work full remote, especially in the software group. Work load is very light. Higher level management will keep saying everyone is busy, but, at least in the software group, there are not many work needs to be done.
Cons
Bureaucracy everywhere. It is a small company, but there are lots of managers with year of experience from big companies, especially Bosch. Their knowledge is quite limited, but they brought their culture of dictatorship here. They made all decisions and don't let their team understand. They only promote their old friends. If you don't know anyone from management team, don't dream for promotion. Software director often couldn't explain his decisions. When I asked him to explain, he would get mad and blame me why I asked such question. There are also cases he would ask people to just follow and don't ask questions. The software director promised many things, but never made them happen. He frequently takes credit for the team's achievements, and he attributes mistakes to team members when accountability is required. The best advice is that "don't trust the management team". Otherwise, you will be the one who suffer.
