Uninformed, self serving management

Pros

Employee are given a lot of responsibilities so you can learn a lot of skills if you are self driven or motivated. You do need to look after your own career so that you keep current with technology.

Cons

There is no longer any management who care about employees, and who understand the business. They make decisions to satisfy their own personal agendas. The company is making money but spending it on management promotions, and management travel even though they tell employees that there are cost reduction policies. There management structure has gotten bigger instead of getting leaner. Too many directors (the director to manager to employee ratio no longer a pyramid, but almost shaped like an hourglass).

Upper Mgmt do not know what they are doing. That's good enough to bring down the morale of the employees.
