Pros

Opportunity to work on large scale projects.

Cons

There is a clear lack of strong leadership and strategic vision, which creates confusion and low morale across teams. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than guided by a long-term plan. Additionally, micromanagement is a significant issue, with little trust given to employees to carry out their roles independently. Another major concern is the lack of consistent work being allocated to your discipline, making it difficult to stay engaged, develop professionally, or contribute meaningfully. Overall, this results in a frustrating work environment with limited growth, direction, and utilization of skills.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
