Pros

They overpay their people to compensate for the way they treat their employees. I also get to work with a really great team.

Cons

From the top down, the only thing leaders care about is metrics and measuring impact. I understand that those things matter, but they aren't the ONLY thing that matters. As a manager, any time I try to remind my peers and above that we are leading PEOPLE, and empathy matters, I just get blank stares. It's harsh. It's cold, It's unkind.

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.
