Pros

Great brand, opportunity to travel, exposure to senior leadership due to small company size.

Cons

Executive leaders frequently operate from a place of fear and self-promotion. They are reactive, uncertain, and lack the professional maturity to discern between work that drives business results and work that makes them look good to management above them for saying yes. This results in a constant whiplash of shifting business priorities and leaders who refuse to manage-up against unreasonable or low-priority requests, so they pass down senseless workloads to already significantly under-resourced teams. Employees leave roles which are never backfilled, then the existing team takes on the extra workload with no additional pay. Wins are not celebrated, they are expected. Efforts at team bonding are frequently postponed or cancelled, both because leadership doesn't prioritize it and because the team doing the work is too burnt out to spend their free time around their coworkers. If an employee is burnt out from a sustained period of an unmanageable workload, there is little to no tangible action from leadership as to what they need to change to fix this. Frequently, it is assumed that the employee is failing due to their own lack of capability and work ethic, then is actively accused and criticized. This is not a one-off occurrence, and has resulted in a high turnover rate / low employee retention. There's a considerable lack in leadership integrity to enact meaningful change for employees beyond platitudes for hard work during business review meetings, and little sign of the company values living out in practice. HR is aware of this as it has been reported by employees and consistently reflected in below benchmark ratings within the annual engagement surveys, yet nothing is addressed since the business uses its current growth to justify the current state of the business and behavior.
