Pros

The company mission attracts very passionate and talented people, making for a fun and quirky team of people to work with.

Cons

The political and slow-moving legacy culture of AAA still permeates throughout A3V despite their physical separation, making it difficult to innovate, move quickly, or pursue opportunities to grow. The excessive employee turnover is a demonstration of this.

Pros

Smart team of people who actually execute (level 1 teammates) New building with food (although they wasted millions on it)

Cons

I have never been so disgusted with company leadership and values in my entire life. Anyone at a Level 3 (VP+) and above lack people skills and micromanage to a whole new level. People are promoted based on personal preference, so if you have a good relationship with the L3 team, you will get a promotion. If you are talented but leadership prefers their friends or "boys", you will never be acknowledged or given an opportunity for career growth. Not to mention, the whole level 1-5 system is archaic and they are missing the whole reason of having an innovation lab. They will tell you that you can come in and be innovative, have autonomy, and help grow the business, but that is a lie. Once in, level 3 and above micromanage the team to the point where they become uninspired. Even if you have a manager in between you and leadership, you will still experience the toxic culture. They will say they are working on it and hold forced all team meetings, but in over a year I have only seen it get significantly worse. Turnover is awful, they are constantly losing talented people due to the culture. There are almost no women in leadership positions and it is clear the "boys club" is much more respected and given the time of day.
