Pros
Talented, intelligent staff. Free parking. Free Advil, Tylenol and Kleenex (you'll need it).
Cons
The organization resembles a dysfunctional family, in which a tyrannical leader (the CEO) creates a culture of fear, blame, and apathy among the underlings (i.e., everyone else, including others in the top-heavy C-suite). The CEO has unpredictable moods, interrogates staff on minor details of any given effort, and has a fondness for marathon meetings during which he will single out a particular individual and publicly humiliate them. HR is aware of the problem and enables it. Rapid employee turnover causes a huge gap in institutional knowledge. Staff is so focused on punishment avoidance that little is ever accomplished. Compensation and benefits are sub-par. Wide-open workspaces and thin-walled offices make privacy difficult. Cursing and foul language are common and contagious. The building ventilation system blows huge amounts of dust into the workspace, creating problems for employees with asthma or allergies.
