Pros

There are still some smart, collaborative and genuine people

Cons

You’d think for a more established company we’d be focused less on chasing short term gains and the next shareholder meeting than we are. We can’t stick to a plan, work is constantly disrupted and changed and just as you get used to a new way of working we restructure again. If you thrive in fast paced, volatile and are happy to pivot strategy every 3 months then you will love it here.

Pros

Flexible hours, unlimited PTO, in a position to really grow after a few really rough years.

Cons

Too many "yes" people near the top. VPs and directors want certain things done that they assume it will get done even if you show them hard evidence that it's not possible. If you give them a time line, they assume you can do it In half the time which is not how I work. Also there is a lot of " the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing"
