Pros

Generous compensation. Flexible work arrangements. Exciting growth company.

Cons

Highly political, toxic environment. Promotions and succession plans highly subjective and based on friendships, favoritism. Diversity & inclusion are not considered. Top leaders and execs set really bad behavioral examples & precedent. They don't "walk the walk" when it comes to company culture and values, and are clearly outmatched for the current size & trajectory of the company.
