Pros
Unless you're "in" there is literally nothing good about working at Magni. Some of the remote locations are ok for chemistry learning positions. Benefits were good.
Cons
The absentee owner manages from afar through fear and mystique and a "jump how high?" style. IT employees are expected to personally service his many homes. The office is drab, outdated, and the parking situation is awful. None of that is even remotely bad compared to the ingrained system of gender-based and tenure-based preferential treatment and unwritten rules. There's a boys club culture that runs so deep that appointments with the strip club during office hours were in male employees' calendars on the regular, yet female employees working hours were scrutinized and tallied. If you're not in the boys' club, then you're definitely out, even if you're a male employee. Managers were observed being verbally abusive with slamming fists on tables and screaming sessions were the norm. People in the boys' club enjoy an excellent work-life balance and a less than full time working hours commitment, with frequent and even opulent travel, including international golf outings. The technology running the business is out of date, the HR practices are behind the times, and the money is misspent. The people working there stay forever (entire careers), so there is little to no room for growth or promotion.
