Pros

Interesting product in an exciting space

Cons

No diversity in leadership Very few black leaders, actions speak louder than words - I mean come on it's 2022. It's always the pipeline excuse but a less qualified white male with connections will be given senior leadership roles and allowed to fail over and over with the goal post constantly being moved. Do better, at this point not doing anything signals that leadership knows the problem and just doesn't care...
