The pros are that company sponsors are high profile . Google. Government agencies... They should be embarrassed to be associated with X Prize.

Pros

Interesting work and subject matter no matter what department you're in.

Cons

They came across so great in the interview a couple of years ago. Positive, friendly, passionate. But the culture here is absolute poison. It's a blame culture where people get ahead by pointing the finger at others. There are many talented and great people at this company, unfortunately they are outnumbered by those who promote a hostile work environment. The communication style here is rude, aggressive and completely unprofessional. In addition they've been having a ton of all staff meetings, employee surveys and etc. but no changes are coming out of them. They go through a similar process every few years or so and continuously drop the ball instead of making improvements. Also hope you weren't looking for a future or career path, promotions and raises are far and few between and will likely be given to people playing politics instead of top performers.

Pros

The mission and most of the people. Really, really good and smart and passionate people. Some of the best and most highly intelligent people on the planet.

Cons

It only takes one or two toxic people to spoil the atmosphere. Those one or two people are obviously (and well-documented) toxic people, but they get to stay.
