Pros

Pristine and ideal image in marketing materials and publicity, however, the day-to-day operation is far from glamorous

Cons

Unfulfilled corporate expectations, employees report a lack of trust in CEO, inability to live up to brand promises. No clear plan for the future, employees don't know long-term goals, senior leadership fails to adequately communicate. Too many executives brainstorming, too few employees tasked with executing.

Pros

The technologies being developed are great, and the folks behind them even greater. People are professional yet it still has that startup feel. I don't feel there are any silos between different teams. Most of my colleagues are incredibly smart and cool people. Executive updates are open and thorough.

Cons

Deadlines are too often pushed back. Executive updates look to be scheduled randomly. A few people don't follow basic engineering practices.
