Pros

You get to work with some of the best doing important work for a while anyway...

Cons

The constant turnover of senior leadership, e.g. 6 VPs in the last 12 years (all from outside the organization), has created an instability and loss of talent that has eroded organizational exceptionalism.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
