Pros

Nice people who genuinely care about the mission of the company and everyone has good intentions at heart when working together to move things forward as best as we can.

Cons

Extremely slow decision-making. Very top heavy organization with lots of cooks in the kitchen and very little clarity on who owns decisions and timeline for making them quickly. I've worked at large companies and small startups and this is the most disorganized org I've worked for. The leadership team is well-intentioned but in over their head for a company at this scale. They were likely the right leaders a few years ago. Also, priorities are all over the place. There are like 12 different values each with super long names and tons of OKRs. We get that a lot is going on but we need to find a way to simplify objectives. Lot of "rah rah" and very little discussion about what isn't working. People get fired and there is zero communication about it.
