Pros

Went IPO with the company and worked on global building projects at a global level.

Cons

In a period of a year only 1 engineer stayed and about 5 had left in my department (regardless of the stock options they hold). Some weeks we worked over 80 hours because incompetent Mgr. with dictator style top down approach to management didn't value our technical competence and focused on self preservation and being around long enough to cashout their stocks. I was sent to HR for fabricated performance reasons at the same period I was getting awarded for work I did.

Pros

Their IT department was initially challenging to work for but once I got in the groove it was fairly smooth sailing.

Some departments were not on the same page and hampered communication.
