Pros

This is the first company that actually let's you go totally offline when you go on vacation, it's kind of amazing (which might say more about my previous employer's than NG).

Cons

Total lack of leadership or management. Also staffing challenges, people leave all the time and replacing them seems to be a huge problem. We hire huge amounts of people, but that is mostly just to replace the ones we lost. We had three senior leaders and several managers all leave in a month or two of each other and it took the company almost a year to find any replacements (it was months before job ads even went out, they assumed we would just pick up the slack and they could save money on our free overtime). In the meantime, no one cared about anything we were doing aside from how much money we were making the company. When they did hire replacements, those people could not care less about you aside from if you're making money and too bad if you're working tons of unpaid overtime. No guidance or job specific training when hired, just thrown into the deep end. First month I was there talked to my manager maybe for an hour total (first day was basically, "Here's a laptop, bye". and didn't see them for a week). If I could go back in time, I would not have gone to this job. Details on the job and what I would actually be doing were not fully disclosed, nor was the extreme lack of organization and lack of almost any documentation for how our programs work.
