Pros
  • Opportunity to work with great people.
  • Lots of opportunities to work on cool stuff if you're in the right team and at the right time.
  • Treat people like fellow humans and offer great benefits with great work-life balance.
Cons
  • Very top-down. Power concentrates at the top. Everything you do needs approval from the top.
  • Communication is bad because leadership is stuck in limbo between being transparent and being secretive.
  • Low compensation.
  • Decisions take a very long time due to constant change in the organizational structure.
  • Things move slowly. It looks fast, but progress is actually slow. I don't actually know why; maybe because of bureaucracy, lack of resources, or lack of focus.
