Pros

-Some of the most agile, engaged professionals I've met -Annual party was great

Cons

-CEOs create an atmosphere of belittling and fear. There is some clear anxiety issues that manifest themselves in attacks, reacting before understanding and an environment of crabs in barrel. Leadership needs leadership development desperately. No executive of color has made it past 2 years. None. Zero.
