Pros

Increasingly fewer and fewer each day.

Cons

The CEO is notably absent and has made dreadful leadership hiring decisions over the past several years. He's sacked the leaders who built the company from zero revenue and who established the wonderful company culture that once existed, but is now long gone. He is the least accessible CEO to customers that I have ever encountered and has made it clear that he intends to remain CEO for life. In his quest to be a Silicon Valley CEO, he has hired narcissistic and inept leaders, avoided hiring effective leaders who might threaten his position, and persuaded the board to accept lower expectations.
