Pros

Amazing product and inspiring brand. Very talented staff, particularly the overworked juniors! Some very strong leaders at the very top end of the company, particularly the CEO. Good time to be there with a great portfolio and lots of exciting disruption in the distribution business.

Cons

Middle and upper management plagued by politics - it's everywhere but worst I have ever experienced. Creates lack of leadership, guidance and clarity in certain divisions. Morale is often low among junior staff.
