Pros
- Very supportive of professional growth, and of giving staff a chance to try different things and take on new/challenging assignments - Passionate employees and management who are extremely dedicated to the mission - Nice people!
Cons
- Its reputation as a meat grinder is true. The environment is chaotic and frenzied, people work extremely long hours. The person who pulls all-nighters is considered a hero, even when there may be more efficient ways to get things done. People who work on weekends are regarded as "team players." - Constant churn among senior leadership - Valuing of work/life balance is given lip service - People who work in "support" functions - IT, Finance, HR, etc are not respected for their expertise. The view is that anyone can do those jobs, even with no experience or training
