Pros
The view from the office is nice. I have great coworkers. The company is the leader in its space, in spite of itself.
Cons
Attention deficit disorder permeates the organization. Don't worry if you think the current direction is not a good idea, it will change soon enough. Budgets will evaporate, your contractors will be let go, and your priorities will rotate 180 degrees all without any warning. Upper management largely tolerates the overall dysfunction by claiming that the company is a "startup", despite the fact that it is over a decade old, has 1100+ employees on three continents, and generates nine figures of revenue. The office space is always warm and comfortable, primarily from the piles of money that have been set on fire: abandoned initiatives, duplicate efforts from siloed teams, bloated company events, C-Suite musical chairs, and endless hints to the elusive IPO that everyone expected to take place years ago.
