Pros
A lot of investment going into the office building. Interesting and opinionated people. Fun team building packages. Flexible schedule to a degree.
Cons
Confused and miss-leading management. You will be offered unexperienced guidance from the management. More than that, if they offer bad advice it is your fault for taking it. The management in Lateral operate on a closed minded architecture, point fingers and blame the ones under your direct supervision it is the main running trend. Social Justice is high with them, they will defend the weakest skilled one in the team, and at the same time they will make sure to have you as the problem and do the work for the rest of the team as overtime. There is no flat system, you will have more managers than colleagues on the project. Lack of identity in values of the company and employees. The internal projects are non existent at best. Most of the employees are under-qualified, if you are a Senior or higher rest assured you will be the one doing all the work. Promises are not kept, the failure to keep them are blamed on your lack of involvement, it seems to be a common idea embedded in the foundation of Lateral.
