Pros

I make a meaningful impact every day. I can say with confidence, I am making the world a better place. I can be my whole self at the office. Compensation is good. Leadership listens to feedback and takes it seriously.

Cons

Leadership takes on too many projects, says yes too often, struggles to make tough decisions. Product team (PM/Eng/UX, etc) builds in agile. Leadership thinks in waterfall, with fixed deadlines and fixed scope making deliverables seem impossible. While leadership listens to feedback and takes it seriously, they occasionally focus on the wrong solution. Leadership struggles to be "leaders" making it feel like they don't trust our judgement and expertise, weighing in on decisions below their pay grade.

Pros

Most of the team was very smart, and much of the work was very interesting.

Cons

Chaotic team structure, lots of red tape, confusing project ownership, too many overlapping people on some projects, while not enough for others.
