Pros
While you will get a sense of a work-life balance at the beginning, this is quickly removed and expectations are not as described in the pamphlet. Middle managers don't seem to know or understand the mission of the Exec team or understand how to meet those expectations. It feels like you are trying to hit a target, but you are blind folded and the target is constantly moving. Your manager is the one moving the target and not giving you any indication on how to hit the target.
Cons
All offices are treated so much differently. If you're in SF, you have the luxury of having lunch every day and breakfast most days. In other offices, you're lucky if you get lunch once a week. Also, the SF office gets special privileges where they have quarterly events (picnics, heart walks, baseball games) during the workday that other offices don't get the same offerings. At best, you're invited to the same happy hour at the same place time and time again. Pretty bad when you don't drink. There is lots of favoritism based on what your role is. You see things that need to be changed, offer suggestions and solution only to be looked at like you have 4 heads. Then, 3 months later, a director will come up with the same idea and all of a sudden it's brilliant and parades are being thrown. Most executives are so egotistical that they can't see down below their porcelain thrones. They don't offer an inviting culture to share ideas, suggestions, or ask questions.
