Pros

Compensation is pretty good. There are opportunities to have impact, but it varies a lot. Most people seem pretty smart, and everyone is almost always friendly and professional.

Cons

It takes forever to get anything done. People follow the same old recipes even if they are not delivering results. There are too many priorities, and now everything is "how are we going to use AI to do X?" not "what is the best way to do things?". All too often, appearances matter more than reality. The guy running the company is an AI goofball.

Advice to Management

Stop being goofballs. Cut the red tape. Get a more focused and energized culture.
