Pros

Engaging and enthusiastic leadership team. Transparent work environments lead to sharing of ideas. Empowerment of employees at all levels with a great pride and sense of ownership in the company

Cons

Fast paced environment does leave those that can't perform behind. Just trying doesn't cut it

Pros

- Free snacks (but always the same varieties all year round) - Location - Large corporate office - Employee discount - Work-life balance - Great learning/training/orientation programs

Cons

- Unreasonably low pay - Mixed quality of employees: Some employees are clearly lacking training, and some managers obviously don't have management skills. Some managers ask you to report every time you're not at your desk for more than 5 min (excuse me?) - Increasingly hierarchical structure: You might still be fooled by its self-proclaimed "startup" culture, but the truth is, the structure has much changed. Remember, this company has 10 levels for its employees. - Shifting structure: A lot of changes are constantly happening - structure of each team, team names, personnel, etc. Confusing. - Unclear/non-transparent communication: The company doesn't have the proclaimed the transparency. Managers don't necessarily let you know what is going on here in the company, and some of them don't even care either (for instance, they don't themselves attend company quarterly meetings, etc.) People have different standards, for instance, some managers don't even allow coffee breaks except for lunch break (excuse me?). You might think that people here are mostly open-minded because of the open floorplans, self-proclaimed start-up, fast-growing environment, but this is certainly not the case with certain departments.
