Poorly managed. Very restrictive and plenty of bike shedding. Discouraging work environment

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you want to work somewhere with A LOT of downtime this is the place. Lots of education opportunities which is interesting. Probably good if you want something long term with slightly below standard pay that is not a challenge. If you are looking to advance your career I doubt this is the place for you.

Cons

Dealing with under trained management. Poorly planned projects with un-predictable requirements (a lot of your job will end up being spent working on things destined to change entirely). Many days spent on busy work that will subsequently get tossed.
