Too Much Overhead

Pros

The company has a great culture and it's a friendly environment to work in. The success of the business has delivered great benefits, esp. RSUs, which makes us very fortunate.

Cons

It appears we're moving toward big company structures, including the addition of lots of overhead personnel with the proliferation of roles like chiefs of staff.

Pros

Steady paycheck and benefits plus 401k. Clean and controlled environment. No one breathing down your neck. Also they give you polos for work though xl is sometimes a bit hard to come by.

Cons

NO way to move up the ranks unless you're related to someone of come from a certain area of the world. Also management since they're all friends and family, most aren't qualified individuals for their positions.
