Pros

Revolutionary product, huge growth, and some great people to work with makes this a good company. Culture in my organization is good.

Cons

CEO is old, ideas are outdated, and he favors certain people he has worked with for 15-20 years who aren't any good. He surrounds himself with yes-men, including the executive team, and no idea is a good idea unless he thought of it. He leads a culture of fear, which is reinforced by his lieutenant.

Lovely people all trying to do the right thing.

No real collaboration at the senior level. Vision is not clear, and not always aligned. Inconsistent decision making.
