Pros

No Pros to working here at the moment.

Cons

CEO operates like a dictator. Everyone is fearful to voice their opinions and leadership is constantly looking for internal groups to blame for every issue. Work/life balance does not exist as 12 hour days and working through you vacation time have become expected. Most groups are down to 50-60% of their staff, or worse, compared to 2016.
