Pros
- Some of the sharpest colleagues I've had anywhere - Lunch, snacks, freebies - Company is financially stable - Opportunity to work for the market leader in the space - Great Product - Great space (Travel)
Cons
- Senior management, especially the layer just beneath the CEO, deliberately cultivates an atmosphere of fear, insecurity and stress as the primary means of motivating employees. This is something they actually more or less admit to: they say that they don't want people to be "comfortable" in their jobs and miss no opportunity to publicly remind the organization about how pleased they are that certain employees have quit or were fired. - This same layer seems to devote much of its energies to political infighting. If your project happens to get caught in one of these fights, good luck. The tread marks from the bus will be imprinted on your forehead long before you realize what happened. - While senior management professes to believing in "speed-wins" and claim they want lower level managers to be "thought leaders" their micromanagement and top-down mandates are the single greatest impediments to both speed and innovation. - The CEO, while a brilliant product leader, seems unable or unwilling to intervene on his second tier managers.
