Exciting company externally, confusing one internally

Pros

Without doubt, the brand alone raises eyebrows in a positive way and is great for your resume. Some highly intelligent colleagues who are conscientious with their expertise. The product is ubiquitous and does a lot of social good in the world. Great benefits and depending on the team, a genuine promotion of work/life balance. Join for the learning experience and value on your resume.

Cons

Highly political environment. It feels like a playground for MBA graduates who chop and change corporate strategy in order to be seen to be doing something. Innovative spontaneity is muffled by incessant decks of powerpoint presentations. Socially, it's a very strange place. For a brand that centres itself on diversity, it has an internal contradiction where colleagues feel uncomfortable making eye contact as they pass each other in the corridor. There was often talk of a 'golden age' which has since long gone.
