The most dysfunctional, diseased management I have ever worked with. If you have any other option, go elsewhere.

Pros

Great group of people at the individual contributor level. Amazing credentials and accomplishments. Good for work/life balance. Out of the city, so commute is acceptable, with little traffic.

Cons

The dictator style of authority, from the President down, leads to an environment of fear and mistrust. Senior management back-stab each other for Presidential approval and recognition. Lots of juvenile politics, that harm the company's mission and most valued employees. No ability for career advancement, as management prefer to hold their cards close for their own sake, instead of supporting and/or promoting their own employees.
