Pros

Amazing people work there. Amazing value system, and learning leadership in a company like this is impossible to replicate in most other places.

Cons

The burnout is high, and it only gets harder as you go up in levels and responsibility.

Advice to Management

Less reports and paperwork showing what you are doing, more actual doing. Less meetings just to have meetings. Less late-night emergencies that are optics-driven.
