Cons
Management is unfortunately weak and without direction. A lack of experience coupled with poor communication skills leads to confusion, poor planning, end even poorer implementation. Last minute scrambling is the norm, as big projects are ignored until the last possible minute, and you find yourself working towards a poorly defined "goal" without the proper tools. Understaffing leads to burnout and excessive workloads, allowing for little/no work/life balance Management states they "cannot keep people they bring in from outside". They recently lost two people who moved 'cross country to bere here. Both stayed less than 6 months and both quit last week and left the company. This is a symptom of a company that hires for upper level positions and doesn't let these people do what they were hired to do, coercing them to folow management's bad direction and leaving the employees associated with massive failures they will have to explain during their next job search. They take control of your project, drive it off a cliff, and then blame you for the mess.I don't believe management has ever taken courses or read and management books.
