      SinclairDigital is a technology organization with very good talent and inept leadership

      Software development engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work-life balance is actually very good for most groups - Technical challenges still interesting - The majority of rank-and-file employees are good people and workers - Middle-management didn't exist a year ago, but are largely competent and focused - Group slowly getting better about getting poor- and non-contributors to step up (rather than allowing them to do nothing)

      Cons

      - The group's top director is abusive and cited as a reason for leaving by nearly every former employee - Upper management was brought on as a start-up group, but hasn't sufficiently changed tactics now that group is 175+ - Director constantly adds new projects and initiatives to a staff that's been overstretched from Day 1 - All principal-level engineers (except one), are petulant, pedantic to a fault, and unconcerned about developing/mentoring their respective departments
