Pros

Exciting mission and many coworkers are really talented and great people.

Cons

This company used to be incredible. Unfortunately, they laid off a bunch of really critical employees and most of the other good ones quit rather than get laid off eventually. Of the good OGs still left, every single one of them is contributing more to the company in a single week than mangement has during their entire time there. And the only ones who ever got a promotion were the ones working under a good manager who--surprise, surprise--has since been laid off. I hope my old coworkers realize their worth and leave this place that doesn't care about them at all.
