      Pros

      Unlimited vacation and the encouragement to take time off, flexible schedule, smart and friendly peers to work with, innovators in the marketplace, strong brand presence, few meetings, diverse hires, driven team working hard to succeed, stock options, ability to have work with different departments and make an impact as an individual contributor.

      Cons

      Success leadership lacked experience and knew little about successfully leading or scaling a team. Snobbish and rude behavior was a norm for many members of the success leadership team. They cliquishly preferred ideas, criticism, and feedback from those who they deemed worthy (a small population) and often got defensive of commentary from others. It appeared they felt most comfortable hiring and managing people who mirror their backgrounds and fit their mold. The lack of basic management knowledge and professionalism that goes with leading a team from the VP and directors was not encouraging but started to improve over time, just not fast enough to want to stay in the department. I'd probably still be working here had it not been for direct management.

      Pros

      Actively re-shaping one of the most stagnant industries on earth. Work with a group of truly passionate "car people" with a common goal in mind. Travel endlessly, vacation flexibly and influence greatly. Be yourself, and without the iron fist of micromanagement. It's ingrained that this is our company, and we have an active voice in reshaping our processes and culture. I've never had a position where, nearly a year in, I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase. Not a day has gone by where I question what I'm doing, or why I'm doing it. After decades of searching, this is "home," and will be for some time. We have our issues, but when management preaches an "open-door" policy, they truly mean it. You can run your own ship, but you *always* feel like you have a voice.

      Cons

      Hectic travel schedule. If you have a family, children, and/or pets, this may not be the role for you. It's not a 9-5. You're expected to "manage up," or turn to your peers before you turn to management; this can be an adjustment. Before you apply, read (or listen) up on startups. Podcasts, books, op/eds; you're facing one of the most challenging industries in the world in a company with a developing set of management and processes. You need to stay scrappy and flexible.
