Pros
Medical benefits, discounts, stock options, gyms, some really great/talented people, etc.
Cons
Boys club/toxic masculinity/cliquey high school behavior Poor management and lack of servant leadership development Under-the-table promotions based off who you know/if you're a white male Stolen ideas/credit, broken promises, and blocked stretch opportunities for selfish gain Lack of senior leadership transparency Hiring BIPOC & women into senior positions to check "diversity and inclusion" boxes Expensive on-campus food Work/life balance is sometimes not respected and falsely promised Senior leadership doesn't necessarily care to push against the grain in a bold way, rethink processes, or see things from new perspectives - they have their own agenda Being told to speak up and then when you do, being told to shut up Essentially zero onboarding unless you get very lucky Many unethical people & processes Below-market pay coupled with higher output expectations the lower in band level you get Poor budget management and excessive/careless employee spending on the company's dime Not many growth opportunities for BIPOC, women (unless you suck up, drink the kool-aid, or are in the boys club) Employees are only a number in the grand scheme of things and are fully at the company's disposal Not in any way a sustainable brand/company
