Pros

- a do-good company - good place to learn the ropes because of size and age - lots of great people - HQ office loaction - career opportunities are decent (but only because of high turnover and push for low compensation)

Cons

- compensation (15-20% below market rate if you're working in SF) - work-life balance is a myth for many departments - crazy high turnover - leadership lacks the talent and gusto to make quick and effective changes; way too many layers of "leaders" - benefits are over-hyped; benefits are on par with any respectable company; the merch discount is great except that the product sucks so everything is 40-50% off to the public anyway - culture is stale and full of unhappy people (unbelievable how many people came to me and told me they wanted to quit after putting in my notice)
