Pros

Strong perks, good people, exciting product, great office location

Cons

The company is set up to fail from a data perspective, specifically from leadership decisions - extremely ineffective low-level managers that shouldn't be in a people manager role, a ton of politics, silo'd decision making, blindness to what is really going on from leadership (due to selective communication by certain leaders), and completely shaky infrastructure that sets up any team using data to fail. Directors and VPs changes their vision and perspectives week to week, demand deliverable turnaround within a day with no ahead notice, work is demanded that is unrelated to job roles, over-promising to the exec team and blame their org for not delivering, and failures to self-reflect any mistakes made.
