Pros

Good mission - used to be a category-defining company. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Extremely low employee morale due to incompetent and egotistical leadership. Mediocrity is the norm in hiring. Senior leadership values hiring “yes men” that come from WebMD. Rampant nepotism - interns (and new hires) are often friends and family of the c-suite. Many people in leadership roles are all style, no substance. A completely unserious place to work with no accountability. Many people are happy to coast. Below average market pay. Executives lack strategy, vision, and have been taking the company in a bad direction with numerous new products that sound shiny but are shoddily built (and pale in comparison yet are more expensive for employers than most other options on the market). Commercial drives all product work and decisions. Processes are consistently changed and rarely stuck to across departments. High turnover amongst the most intelligent / technical employees due to lack of investment from the organization and lack of career advancement opportunities (that is, unless you’re one of a few chosen favorites of the CEO).

Pros

- some of middle managers are good but are unfortunately stuck constantly cleaning up the executive teams mess

Cons

- chief of staff more like glorified CEO brown noser - head of product has no idea what’s going on - ultimately the biggest problem here though is there are no consequences: incompetent work doesnt get challenged, competent work doesn’t get rewarded. A select group of favorites can do whatever they want. Even the president who made the most inept judgement calls and had poor management got away with a $20 million golden parachute. Nothing matters unless you are best friends with the CEO. Deliver exceptional work? You’ll get a big THANK YOU! But don’t except a bonus, promotion or salary bump. They really don’t care.
