Pros

Everchanging industry with lots of opportunity for critical thinking and developing creative methodologies when management allows and is not constrained. Working wages are good for women

Cons

As Mark Twain once said, "Loyalty to petrified opinion never broke a chain or freed a human soul." Frequently, as in most companies in this industry, marketing and arbitrary schedules "tie the hands" of the creative end of development and in most cases are counter productive.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
