Pros

At first, lots of innovation. Good career paths. Smart folks and interesting projects

Cons

CFO from airline came onboard and started slashing benefits left and right. The company focuses on giving a lot of stocks but they forgot they can’t control the stock market (even when the company does very well). This year, the attrition has been through the roof, to the point I am worried about how much this may affect our future earnings and our merchants.

Pros

Great people but that may be team dependent.

Cons

Culture is very team dependent. Slow to build things but that's probably to downside to corporate... it all depends on the team that you're on
