Pros

This is a fantastic, future oriented company with world class products and technology. Amazing leaders (CEO, CFO, segment president) that is the most intelligent and sharpest I’ve worked for. If you are an ambitious professional who wants to make a huge difference, you will quickly stand out, very likely rise in the org rapidly, and have the ability to see the true result of your work. There is leadership support and willingness if you want to drive for results - not a lot of red tape and agile. New campus coming in 2028. If better talent comes into the organization, this will be an opportunity to be a part of a huge turnaround.

Cons

The company had gone through some difficult times prior to the new executive team stepping in and what seemed to be below par standards. The set of employees used to the previous standards are not used to the bar being set at that of a comparable public company and perceive this to be an issue with the leaders. See my note in the Pros section - if you are ambitious and have drive to make a difference, you will not have these same concerns.
