There are pros and there are cons. Definitely both.
Pros
High end, luxury product brings opportunities to work with very impressive clients and business partners. The flexibility with schedule is easy going, you can work as much or as little OT as you want (in the dept I was in anyways). There’s lots of great people. It’s a growing company and starting to get processes under control.
Cons
Lots of politics and favoritism based on your status and relation to other executives. There are people in very upper level executive positions who are extremely unqualified but are there because they have a relationship to “the family”. The procedures and processes are not thought out before rolled out. Priorities are in favor of whoever is the favorite at the moment. Everything is bottle necked and it takes a long time to get anything approved because the decisions are made by the top few, although there’s so much to get done. Some of the upper, white, men are egotistical and hot headed and get away with it because they’re all old friends. The company is growing rapidly but they are not prepared to handle it at this point.
