Pros
Most of the people were great, the office is beautiful and in a great location, the technology and assets are fantastic and are ripe for continued innovation. Truly wish the org all the best as there is so much potential there despite my gripes.
Cons
Despite internal and external PR that communicates otherwise and a gorgeous and progressive looking office space, the culture felt like a 1960s-level set back and was nothing like I've experienced in my career. Lacking real systematic appreciation and implementation of the stated cultural values... there was no space for true diversity, real independent thinking, and much-needed genuine celebration of individuals and successes. For the most part the culture enabled the people who were capable of leaving a trail of bodies in their path to rise the top (some to the very top) while the others left or were let go... a constant churn. Overall, mostly a demoralizing place for me. JoAnna had a great vision and set the cultural values - it was a good start but for some reason they always felt muted in the day-to-day and not reflective of the personalities that sat in the most influential levels.
