Pros

The recruiting org is comprised of highly productive individuals, who would most likely do well under almost any conditions. The company is working on great, society-changing technology. The mission is amazing.

Cons

However, the politicking, lying, favoritism, and underhandedness among the leadership, particularly on the people/recruiting front, will hinder meaningful growth and will cause there to be a ton of churn. Don't take my word for it. Just look at the history. Short tenures and departures under sketchy circumstances abound. If you are a serious recruiting pro, who wants to build a career on merit and good work, I would avoid this company.
