Pros

Unlimited PTO, the perks, some of the people.

Cons

The CEO is not the man is pretends to be in front of the camera or on stage. The company is full of nepotism and favoritism, full of friends and family of the CEO's inner circle. The company has a zero tolerance for mistakes firing policy that is not applied fairly. Managers are encouraged to fire people to keep other employees on their toes! I've witnessed some of the "friends of the CEO" that have done some major HR/legal violations that should have gotten them fired yet are still there and I've witnessed good, solid and smart people be fired for petty and minor stuff that most companies wouldn't have blinked an eye over. It comes down to if It was once a fun place to work, but success has gone to the heads of some of the leaders. Lots of good people have left, have been leaving or are looking to leave. The culture used to be something worthy of a novel, it was once amazing, but they failed to maintain this as the leadership lost sight of its core product and focus.
