      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Great work life balance and good pay - A few shining star employees - Large consumer base - CEO has good intentions - Good opportunity to grow if you have no prior experience

      Cons

      - CEO is not operationally involved in the business and has had a track record of hiring bad leaders that have either (a) quit/gotten fired or (b) are actively running the business into the ground (Product) - Company has no coherent strategy on how to grow and PMs/managers are inept - Terrible HR track record - not firing soon enough, promoting the wrong people, pushing out people who were good, not promoting people due to stupid made-up rules, etc. - Extremely limited growth opportunities for people who already know the basics of their function.
