Pros

work on some truly interesting ideas

Cons

there is ZERO execution on any of the projects which are guided by inexperienced managers and incompetent senior management. senior management are more concerned with maintaining their high salaries and pictures in the newspapers than actually doing anything. they go where the money

Pros

amazing mission exciting work ability to make a global impact strong external support for the organization good brand image

Cons

micromanagement at a level of detail that rapidly becomes value destroying poor or stalled decision making inability to prioritize in any sort of disciplined way and then even more trouble sticking to what ultimately get decided as the top priorities inability to think about the future of the organization strategically sustained periods of very poor morale highly dysfunctional leadership at the top - inability to set direction and inspire confidence
