      Pros

      You can purchase anything new for cost, a great perk. It's a great place to build support for a band, network with other musicians, and meet women. If you have no problem selling people things they don't want or need, you'll do great at GC. If you have a soul, be prepared to lose it.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible and the level of suspicion is really obnoxious. Many of your co-workers are idiots and almost all are in their twenties and immature. It's like being in high school again. Lots of hazing and practical jokes, almost all mean spirited.

      Pros

      - Plenty of capable individual contributors doing real work. - The brand and the business itself are legitimate — the problems are organizational.

      Cons

      - Senior leadership is politically driven rather than outcome-driven. Strategic initiatives stall out, and leaders spend more energy assigning or shifting blame than actually diagnosing and fixing problems. - Some parts of the org operate on deference to the top. Honest assessments get softened into whatever narrative leadership wants to hear, which makes real cross-functional work difficult. - Senior leaders do not consistently advocate for their own teams. When things get political, self-preservation takes precedence over backing the people underneath, and capable managers end up exposed.
