Pros

Had potential but faded in the last 6 months... Some of the top employees in the world work here and with the right tools could make this a very successful company.

Cons

They forgot why they hired the experienced/ best people in the industry and moved them to NY. Initially, the employees had lots of input and things were going well. In the last 6 months, attitudes have changed and employees are not utilized to there full potential. Morale is at an all time low. The new moto is "don't think or give your input, just do what your told" so now things are falling apart.

As a startup, it is fast paced and understaffed. The workforce is diverse. So there are some cultural conflicts

Pros

It is the biggest and most leading edge project in the country if not the world

Cons

Each person brings their previous culture and knowlege to the party. As a result it is hard to get that many differences rolled in to single great plan or vision.
