Pros

The mission, product and scientific innovation at the company is near-unmatched for its industry. And there are some real A+ talents there particularly in the middle ranks of the company, true experts in their domains and great people. Compensation has also been very good.

Cons

Upper management - Current leadership has an objectively poor track record of achieving business results, particularly given the substantial funding available. But this poor performance has had seemingly no consequences for C-level leadership. Change management - The planning and communication of the recent restructuring was a disaster. Herding people onto a mass 15 minute zoom call led solely by HR, with no manager follow up before or after, is not a good practice.
