Serious culture problem, not magical

Pros

Potential: exciting product concept.

Cons

Toxic, unprofessional, hostile work environment. It has the worst company culture trickling from the top down with terrible leadership. Management is indecisive with no clear direction, very poor communication that misleads employees. Severe lack of policies, procedures and process. Instead of hiring the best leadership to take a good look at making real change to the culture, they lose their best talent and it's a revolving door. Free food and drinks don't make up for unhappy employees. Horrible work-life balance, very long hours, politics, constant fire drills, anxious stressed out management causing unnecessary stress on employees. No clear direction. Complete lack of empowerment.

Politics and power struggles before product

Pros

Potential: exciting product concept, hyped company / unicorn, etc. Interesting mix of hardware, software and creative talent abound. Florida is a nice place to be (beaches, etc.).

Cons

Unprofessional, toxic, antagonistic and, at times, hostile environment/culture that is propagated from the top-down. Not female, minority or LGBT friendly. Management attacks ideas, information sharing and collaboration across groups. Terrible work-life balance, long hours, unpredictable, constant fire drills, unnecessarily stressful, etc. largely due to a lack of open communication and inability to plan. Litigious company with a prohibitive noncompete (in FL).

Pros

Great company, benefits, culture, smart people, good pay, lots of interesting projects.

Cons

Good engineers keep leaving because there's too much disconnection between teams. Bad management has led to good people getting fired for obscure reasons, favoritism can play an important role on this as well. Attracting good talent to Florida it's been a hard task and therefore toxic people are getting hired supply the fast growing of the company.
