Pros

- Good benefits - Ability to work in fast paced environment

Cons

-The sheer number of internal communications you have to send on a daily basis makes it impossible to actually do your job effectively and if you send something internally that the CEO doesn't like, he will be the first to jump down your throat, you can't win with that guy -CEO is absolutely nuts, if you're not in his "circle" you may as well not even exist. The culture is extremely political and exclusive, breeds ongoing toxicity and an extremely stressful environment for those who the CEO does not feel are "worthy" of his praise -Management is the first to throw you under the bus when something goes poorly, all because they cannot get on the same page -"Guiding principles" are a joke, except delight customers, they do that well. When it comes to looking out for employees and work life balance, it just doesn't exist -Little room for career growth/ability for promotions (unless you're at the top) you can literally be promised a promotion and then have it taken away -Some benefits/perks exist for some, but unavailable for others - some people can WFH, others are scolded, some can have a flexible schedule, others are not allowed, it's 2018, get with the times
