Insane and mentally unstable management

Pros

I learn a lot about the industry, and I learn a lot from my brilliant colleagues.

Cons

Although there are tons of potential for learning and growth, the insane and mentally unstable management will keep you on your toes all the time. The managers will point out your mistake rudely, and they'll verbally abuse and insult you instead of mentoring you. Just avoid interacting with the awful managers and you'll survive.
