Pros

Truly collaborative teams working together to improve the company and move it forward. Lots of work to be done so can be exciting challenge to be a part of a growing organization. Amazing brand with an honorable mission. Establishing processes and standards not in existence before.

Cons

Challenging environment sometimes. Some departments taking longer than others to accept change and make changes which leaves some disgruntled. Management can be disconnected due to poor communication. Sense of moving too fast without proper infrastructure. Old ways of doing things clash with new ways of doing things.

Pros

Awesome place and people - complex and large finance operation and balance sheet yet still small enough to make an impact and build up solutions from the ground floor - creative place!

Cons

Sometimes can be stretched for more resources

Pros

Great staff and middle management. Good benefits and facilities.

Cons

Upper Management - same tune as all the other reviews. This place is full of great people who don't know they are great. It's also full of bad leaders who think they are great. Unfortunately, the best performers are often rewarded with carrying the burden of underperformers and non-contributing leaders. In certain teams there is very limited in upward mobility. They are slow to weed out low performers and ineffective managers. All in, strong performers and high achievers might find this place frustrating. This is a place for those who like to coast through.
