Pros
The wrapping is shiny and attractive.
Cons
Expect accountability to be treated as a hot potato. Last one holding the potato gets burned. The tempo and workload is too high and decisions and authority to proceed skip risk analysis and impact, maybe even common sense. Fast work, probably done poorly and overlapping with other efforts. There’s no respect for boundaries. Expect to be disrespected at all levels. There are no processes or procedures. Implementing process and/or governance will be at odds with the existing culture. Expect high-intensity conflict-oriented, zero-sum gameplay culture. If people aren't at the top of their emotional intelligence game, this sort of interaction gets ugly, personal and will do so quickly. The ground under your feet and the sky above you will be unreliable. In the context of all the other bullet points, this is at best, a recipe for constant anxiety leading to burnout and at worst, complete failure by not being provided the tools to succeed. These bullet points read less like a company and more like a motley group of individualists who'll be jockeying to be the queen's main go-to. Survival will depend on how well the candidate uses office politics to their advantage. They’ll be held to a productivity standard that will be unspoken/unwritten, ephemeral and probably weaponized.
