Pros
The environment and expectations are very laid back. Work life balance is easy to maintain. Lots of interesting things going on. The CEO seems like a decent leader. There are lots of opportunities to do cool new things even if it's hard to get those things moving.
Cons
Most, if not all of the management I have encountered is ineffective and lacks leadership skills, with the exception of the CEO. There seems to be little accountability and lots of "them vs us" mentality across organizations. There is a massive amount of software development effort wasted by not being open to sharing across teams. Goals tied to the bonus program are vague and avoided as if they do not matter. It's no surprise at the end of the year that those bonus goals are not met or not met enough. The return to office effort has been low pressure but that is starting to change. Again, management is not leading, they are making posts to internal webpages and holding virtual meetings from their homes about the importance of being in person.
