Pros

My direct team was great.

Cons

Work-life balance can be nonexistent depending on time of year, if you work with customers. Unrealistic expectations of employees and at time disjointed. To much office politics to wade through. People are consistently favored or treated better than others due to associations with the Founder/President/CEO or simply because they’ve been around for a long time. You’re expected to put certain people in the organization on a pedestal and worship them and their ideals. At times, cult-like. The company had much better culture a decade ago.
