Skeleton crew with dangerous levels of burnout

Pros

Good benefits. Teammates are typically friendly and kind. Some managers are excellent and do their best to build stability and trust even though it’s a toxic work environment.

Cons

Dozens of micromanaging meetings per week, rampant burnout and understaffing. Lots of backstabbing, office politics, unconstructive “feedback”, and managers bickering for power and influence. Expectations for your job will change daily while tasks outside of your job description are piled on. One Director I worked with hadn’t taken time off in 3 years. If you aim for work-life balance, expect to get so far behind that you have anxiety attacks when you log in every Monday. It should also be noted that it’s a common practice for the CEO to send enraged emails to entire departments when a customer writes a single negative remark about Arlo on Twitter. This is the level of micromanaging you sign up for when you take a job here.
