Pros

The mission and product are truly inspiring. The environment can be engaging and exciting, and the work is fun at times.

Cons

Upper leadership and their unwillingness to be truthful about the status of things. No tangible goals and metrics which is very difficult to understand how you're doing without those in recruiting. Business units are extremely disjointed with messaging and collaboration lacking severely.
