Pros

Fat paycheck that is above the industry norm. It is all cash, no stock grants, so they give you freedom to spend/invest the money as you want. If all you care about is the money, this is the perfect place for you to work.

Cons

Very political environment. Management is clueless and is more interested in promoting themselves to upper management. Suck-up-and-kick-down culture. No collaboration between teams; they are out to get each other and throw you under the bus. Constant fear pervades within individual contributor roles, as they are not sure if they will be around next week. Company HR brags about how they are not shy about letting people go.

Advice to Management

Wake up before the company is driven into the ground. As the culture says freedom and responsibility, there are no financial controls on many things. A lot of spending activities are bordering on unethical.
