Pros
If you’re one of the original employees, you can do basically anything you want, regardless of skill or experience. Any failures are not your fault, and any success absolutely is. So good! If you’re anyone else, though… lol
Cons
Where to even start? Management is worthless. I've never done so much managing upward just to be allowed to do my work, and I can barely get anything done because all of my energy is spent managing upward. Leadership takes all of the credit for any minor accomplishment, but will quickly blame and/or fire people for backward slides in KPI progress that those same people warned about months prior. Leadership has an affinity for PIPs as a way to get rid of employees. Expertise is not valued - there is an assumption that anyone can do everything, and any attempt to defer to a coworker with demonstrable expertise in an area is seen as a personal failing. The company claims to value diversity, equity, and inclusion, but has clear biases in both pay, as well as respect, toward white men, and actively undermines the capacity for parents to engage with their families. Coworkers are pitted against each other, rather than encouraged to collaborate, and managers are quick to blame their reports for failing to complete tasks that they themselves stood in the way of, claiming that leadership had tied their hands.
