Pros

- Great people at the ground level/boots on the ground - Cool factory - Decent pay

Cons

- Incompetent management - Cutthroat culture of ladder climbing - More focused on leveling than launching - Endless corporate jargon and buzzwords from leadership - Way too many irons in the fire; no single priority across the company - Different business units act like isolated companies; no cross-department collaboration or communication - Enterprise tools are hodgepodge and led by horrible management - Boys club culture amongst leadership - Leaders continue to fail up (particularly in ET) - Expensive swag - No real culture - No equity for employees
