Pros

Cool mission and there are some really amazing people here. People work hard but also have fun and most of the staff get along really well with each other.

Cons

Badly managed, people disappear with no explanation, projects and priorities change all the time again without any explanation, C-level people don't seem to know what they are doing and like to hold a lot of secret meetings. Nothing real ever gets communicated to the staff from them or the Board. All the best staff are talking about leaving or have left.
