Pros

- good work / life balance.....but only if you yourself insist on it - incredibly kind coworkers (not speaking of management here) - free food

Cons

- management will give you "promotions" but you will NOT get a raise, despite all the extra responsibility; oh and you will have to fight for a title too - incredible amount of impediments and egos at the top , which renders people unable to do their job leaving them with no autonomy - management is not suited to run anything, let alone departments of people - i don't think a single manager has received any kind of training on how to actually manage - pay is incredibly low in comparison to industry standards - the work itself is like a sweatshop where all you practically do is the same repetitive thing all day every day *only take a job here if you are straight out of school and/or career progression is of no interest to you

Pros

Interesting product we have access to use.

Cons

The biggest challenge has been the lack of consistency in strategy and leadership turnover, which makes it difficult for teams to build momentum and execute. Constant shifts in priorities create confusion and are frustrating. No transparency. The company is struggling to keep pace with competitors in terms of product innovation. Many teams feel they are spending too much time reacting to changes rather than building forward momentum. Too many time wasting meetings where everyone is camera off.
