Stressful and unnecessary.

Pros

Weeding through the overly-enthusiastic "save the planet" heroes, you meet some pretty nice people who are very grounded and good at what they do.

Cons

What's the point of meetings, if they're only meetings to talk about other meetings? Why are half my e-mails calendar invites to meetings where you're requested to be there but don't actually contribute? Why are there some project managers who manage projects that they clearly are incapable of managing? What's the point of a deadline, if it takes two weeks just to pass it along to another person? Why is it that half the time, the person that is needed the most happens to be on vacation or "away from the desk" for days? Again, when it comes to meetings, why is everyone in meetings all the time? How does anything ever get done? When it's nice outside, expect everyone to be on vacation.

Pros

Great benefits, great location. The roots of the company are still there on paper, but have not survived the culture change over the last 4 years.

Cons

The company has lost its moral compass. In the last 4 years half of its employees have quit or been fired. Constant "restructuring" means constant layoffs, and an air of abject fear. Senior leadership is simply awful. They hire style over substance -- people who are good at sitting in meetings all day talking about work, but not actually doing work (that gets outsourced to someone else). Some in leadership are nearly clown-like -- complete buffoons -- and seem to want to prove this by wearing purple clothing to match purple pens, notebooks, etc. Constantly-distracted-by-the-latest-shiny-object personalities mean no real marketing gets done, just whatever strokes their enormous egos, just like all the boot-licking yes-men they surround themselves with. No career opportunities -- once you make a certain amount, they will replace you with someone who is cheaper. Terrible ageism going on here.

Pros

Good work-life balance & PTO

Cons

If you're not a manager, nobody listens to you. Company direction changes like the wind so you end up doing a job you did not sign up for. Management is terrible... narcissistic and self absorbed. They might say they want to help you grow, but yet you're not included on the conversations that will help you do that. Trying to be promoted from within is a joke. If you're looking to grow in your career, do NOT waste your time here. A TON of employees recently left for a reason... not to mention the company is not in a good position so layoffs are bound to continue.
