      Pros

      Great mission, fabulous people and actively working to get better all the time, with the resources to do it.

      Cons

      Demanding culture with lots of people trying to generate results that, when unaligned, can lead to friction.

      Thanks so much for your review. It is nice to hear a new employee having such a positive experience. As you know, we are definitely focusing on Direction, Alignment and Committment so that the friction you describe is reduced.
