Pros

amazing mission exciting work ability to make a global impact strong external support for the organization good brand image

Cons

micromanagement at a level of detail that rapidly becomes value destroying poor or stalled decision making inability to prioritize in any sort of disciplined way and then even more trouble sticking to what ultimately get decided as the top priorities inability to think about the future of the organization strategically sustained periods of very poor morale highly dysfunctional leadership at the top - inability to set direction and inspire confidence

Pros

lots of room for autonomy, working on world's hardest problems, great culture, great people, great benefits.

Cons

always room for improvement in scheduling all hands meetings- (hard with so many people in the company), doing a LOT of things at once (generally good thing, comes with challenges)
