Pros

You can carve out your own niche and find your role.

Cons

If you're looking for mature leadership with a strong direction for the business and product, you won't find it here. Relying on inexperience and yes-men to move forward instead of making educated decisions.

Pros

Work from home is nice. No real headquarters in the US although other countries do have offices.

Cons

Company struggling and under intense pressure from investors who are saddled with a 5 separate companies and NO plan for most of them. Upper management is inaccessible and sales mentality is like a timeshare con man. No concern for the customer and their experience and a ton of competition among the different units.
