Pros

Very attractive salary and stock options plan.

Cons

Very large teams dispersed in all geographies. It's hard to communicate and learn, with a lot of time spent in meetings and synchronization.

Poor work-life balance, with meetings at odd times.

The company and management structure is quite bureaucratic. It's hard for newcomers to break into existing cliques.

Advice to Management

You don't need such large teams. Break work down into smaller chunks and give full control to local teams. Reduce overhead of meetings and status reporting, etc.
