Great for growth

Pros

Company is trying to do more with less. Great place to gain a lot of Finance experience and make a difference.

Cons

Company focuses a lot on how things make people feel, which you might think would keep drama to a minimum, but it just amplifies stupid gripes. Company leadership also seemed to push social justice more than how the company is going to succeed and make more money.
