Pros

- Company offers a good deal of flexibility, good benefits, decent pay, but work-life balance is negatively influenced by manual processes, rework, and technology limitations. - Currently have strong reputation in industry. - Open door to CEO

Cons

High turnover rate in several functions, which limits domain expertise, end up chalking it up to a bad hire rather than examining the reason for turnover and making changes - Training: lacking structure and context, need more training opps after on-boarding - Culture: pointing fingers when mistakes occur rather that finding root-cause, isolated functional communication, not great at best-practice sharing so constantly "reinventing the wheel", over-stretched in all functions and complacency with small mistakes, typically feel like you are out on an island on your own. - Work-life balance: weekends and late nights are not out of the ordinary, especially during submission deadlines - Leadership: missing the pulse of day-to-day activities so out of touch when it comes to vision and growth and org structure, communication suffers Be aware and ask good questions about culture during interview. Talk to management in addition to team.
