Pros

Excellent conditions for diminishing the assembly of a promising team to a conceited collection of self praising individuals. If obsequious and ingratiating are your go to forms of leveling up, this is the organisation for you. It's like I got into a time machine and went to the 80's. Might be worth it just for the out of body experience of living through a totally ridiculous situation for 2020. There are a lot worse companies , and a lot better. This one is squarely average but you will be frustrated if you are gen y type A. People are nice in a naive way. Helpful in a self promotion way as long as the status quo is maintained. Plenty of opportunity to shape this company for those who enjoy a unique challenge. Technology is worthy. People are genuinely well intending albeit en masse, misguided.

Cons

The symptoms of organisational neglect are exposed through the short sited, and insecure steppings of a heavily biased proportion of employees promoted by tenure. Majority use of inward looking feedback for self improvement likened to the blind leading the blind. Humility is painfully and publicly exhibited by our out of touch leadership team while leaving high performers disenchanted for their dreams of resolve and practicality. They scramble to obtain credibility while failing to discern it. I find the attitude completely lacking in energy , and innovation.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
