Pros

Good mission Travel opportunities Generally supportive and fun environment

Cons

Full of silos - people don't know what others are working on or why Hard to navigate when you need resources or support - will have to find budget to get support from external contractors if you need help asap Limited to no marketing support from marketing department. The whole department needs real leadership and to be integrated as an actual support unit to the rest of the business. Constant reorganization and the upheavals that come with it Lack of accountability - goals come and go with little to no updates
