Pros

Pay & benefits package. Flexible / Remote work.

Cons

Many more layers of management added since new Exec team was appointed. Previously very flat (3 EVPs) and now there are 8. Too many SVP's to count. Many more kingdom builders / protectors than previously. Multiple strategic mis-steps with product roadmaps and roll outs.
