Pros

Was great team dynamics 10 years ago. New management slowly killed jobs, morale and innovation. Interns can be helpful, before they move on and don't look back

Cons

Business cycle reaching plateau phase, so we seeing anxiety and even more cost cutting. Too many foreign teams, for wrong departments. Little trust and broken groups. King and queen bee behaviors. Especially if a VP or such is from the partying and/or school circle of top leadership. Lots of clueless upper level moodiness and careless executive leadership. Can make you look other way when in front of client or vendor. Everywheer, actually. And constantly. Like in development and facilities management. The crazy paranoid manipulation and targeting for the better part of the past decade. Great laziness and no accountability. Sinking morale. No trust for office management when we see how it damage people and company image.
