Pros

- Nice Campus - Interesting topics - Nice cafe

Cons

Content feels mostly stale. No culture of performance Older wealthy CEO - vastly disconnected from both employees and overall market trends/realities. Most employees come in with hope and excitement and become disillusionned fast. Primarily due to office BS: strict no remote policy, creepy tracking/monitoring of employees, priorization of Wall Street and overall disconnect between mission and day-to-day at the office. Most of the staff seem depleted and show very little enthusiasm for their work/company.

Pros

Most of the people you will meet are exceptional in many ways. There is a lot of freedom of thought and many great conversations to be had. The campus is amazing and in a great location. They do "walk the talk" with regards to the company culture in many ways.

Cons

There are many disconnects and ivory towers in the building. No clear-cut way to integrate with the other teams. You are on your own to figure that out. If you don't come with the kind of background and experience to do that you will be adrift. The leadership team seems to be lacking the actual leadership skills necessary to lead and make the positive changes happen that they envision.
