Vantaggi
There is no micromanagement, only because management is so out of touch with their employees and processes. Work-life balance is fine.
Svantaggi
Bad work environment. Management seems more like a 'good ole boys' club instead of actual qualified managers. Many managers are control freaks and step in and prevent strong employees from truly prospering. I've personally seen management seclude employees or other managers who weren't fulfilling their agendas. The resistance to change and advancements is mind-boggling. They are still relying on software systems that were developed in the 80s and 90s. It is really just a backwards organization that seems to only bandage problems, rather than truly fix them. If you ask managers why we do this or why we do that 9/10 times the answer is something along the lines of "I don't know, ask....."
