Valuable projects and experts, but horrendous management

Pros

Good number of experts, mostly good number and variety of projects, a lot of control over career

Cons

My specific office location was absolutely atrociously managed. The whole KY/TN and even SE region needs a revamp, or something, because they do not value their (especially international) employees and do not even try to give a crap about them really. Do not expect anyone in leadership to try and do the right thing by you or give you anything more than the absolute bare minimum.
