Pros

Innovation. The company encourages it and if you have an idea, you can work it. This is a rare opportunity to be part of something great and make a difference at an individual level. The work-life balance is great. There are wonderful, smart and driven people to collaborate with. It brings out the best in me as I'm surrounded by top talent.

Cons

The company is at an inflection point. It's experiencing tremendous growth, but knows its competitors, who are small and nimble, are gaining ground. It knows it needs to change, but it's not quite sure how to change its own culture. We have a goal, but the roadmap on how to achieve the goal is unclear. Roles and responsibilities are unclear. Multiple teams solving the same problem in different ways without communicating. It's not crazy here, just feels like the first 30 seconds of Iron Chef. We're going to produce something amazing, if we can just find the salt.

Pros

-Benefits - lots of leeway for mediocre work. -Immense opportunities -

Cons

-Pay is LOW and the company does take advantage of its workers. -The review system is very flawed (with consistent technical/data errors) and when questioned, you are accused of not upholding company values to "Trust Eachother". -Anybody with corporate management experience will be hired, regardless of their credibility, character and true experience. -Many conflicts within operations and system. When conflicts/issues are brought to light, they are not addressed. -Expects workers to operate as super human machines. -Constantly realigning goals and visions as well as assigning new responsibilities but not increasing pay.

Layoff

Pros

Until 6 months ago one of the best companies to work for in America. Now, not so much.

Cons

Before layoff, my performance appraisal was lowered to a "meets some" over the objections of HR and 2-levels of management. This happened to about 25% of my department and some managers had to reqrite reviews to a lower level.
