Pros

The people you work with day to day are great.

Cons

C-suite leadership - lacks transparency, clear vision, and honesty Mid-level management - lacks training It's the blind leading the blind. Only hope is the CEO sees this and figures it out. I had 9 different managers while I was there. Engineers were re-organized every few months. Some managers were wonderful and some were promoted (not based on anything) and were terrible. It's not their fault. They weren't prepared for that type of role. Also, there were times it felt like clique culture. You had to be in with the right people to get privileges or be seen. Don't question management. Don't report it to HR. Nothing will actually happen because the wrong people know the right people.

Pros

cool technology, awesome CEO, capable engineering and PM VPs

Cons

engineering/pm leadership needs help. the CPTO is not technical at all and has no product vision. However, the VPs of both engineering and PMs are all very technical and capable. They are limited by the CPTO though.
