Pros

Remote work. Fun people and culture. Discounts.

Cons

Reactive and chaotic work is the norm. Lack of horizon planning beyond the immediate future. Leaders do not bring each other and their teams along in their work. No opportunities for advancement. Strong preference for hiring external candidates. New hires and leaders can't hit the ground running amidst the chaos.
