No leadership, just follower-ship

Pros

Good pay and benefits, as long as you don’t rock the boat

Cons

Serious gender discrimination problems. If you’re male, prepare to be discriminated against. Liberal bias. If you’re at all conservative, or god forbid a veteran, you will be looked down on. Sycophants rewarded, questioners punished. Many examples of people asking too many questions being shown the door. A lot of platitudes (“be fearless with us”) but they’re just words, actions are often completely opposite, e.g. they say they want innovation but have zero tolerance for risk. Double standards: Washington DC staff get massages, gym, ice cream socials. Field staff get second-rate everything and are completely marginalized in decision making. A history of extremely poor CEO choices. Currently Joann Jenkins, who invested tens of millions in a failed experiment to produce a tablet device (the RealPad) for older consumers, then defined it as a success and received her usual annual bonus.
