Pros

Good benefits, nice office location in SF, and some really smart people to learn from. A lot of potential.

Cons

Senior management has a pretty good idea of where they want to go, but little clue about how to get there. Additionally, middle management is blown up with many incompetent people, some with old-school mindsets. Overall, a lot of potential led by an old boys' club stuck in the past.

Advice to Management

Reduce management overhead and some of the bold egos. Make sure people share one vision. Get rid of the silos and political fights; it costs too much money, and you lose the great people who actually do the work and drive the company forward.
