Pros

The company is growing and has a ton of opportunities to get involved if you are willing to put in the effort. The CEO communicates the vision very clearly and has always been transparent. The best part has been working with so many talented people that are willing to share knowledge. I found many mentors that were eager to share their experiences (I just had to go outside my org to find them).

Cons

Leaders set the culture in extreme ways. Some departments have everything in order and enjoy a work life balance. Look for roles in environments with low turnover and a tenured base of employees - happy employees to be found with a good work life balance. Look for leaders that can speak about their accomplishments and growth in specific detail - These managers will think of you as a human being, have appreciation, and have your back when you need support.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
