Pros

Individual contributers are all trying to do the right thing, push toward change. Staff are generally helpful and supportive. Focused on the customer experience.

Cons

Mid level and senior management are often clueless and resistant to change of any kind. Processes and direction are unclear and change often, making navigating your job difficult and stressful. A huge amount of personal politics is present.
