Pros

opportunity to build new things

Cons

you will work hard and they will take away RSUs if the stock gets too high because they think they are over paying you but if the stock goes down they do not compensate you. They will change the org structure, lay people off then say you do not have enough direct reports to have the title but still want you to do the same job without the manager perks

Pros

Everyone suffers together culture - really the people.

Cons

Everyone suffers together culture - leadership & weak vision. A stagnant company whose leaders blame their people for having weak company and product vision.
