      Pros

      Great mission. Cool business. Opportunities for growth, good middle management on most teams. Awesome, talented coworkers. Culture has historically been good. Learn something new every day

      Cons

      HR (and finance?) are quickly destroying culture and morale. They don't seem to care about employees more than as numbers on a page. They're not trying to build a culture or support system. It's ironic that the department is called "people and culture" instead of "HR" because they couldn't be less of the modern employee-friendly organization that they're trying to depict. "National donut day" and "National root beer float day" and holiday gift baskets do not make a culture; How you treat employees does.
