Pros

I can't think of a single one other than I'm getting paid while I interview for another job.

Cons

- Leadership is clueless and have never run a big company before. - HR have significant trust issues with staff who are scared to communicate with them openly and honestly for fear of information being used against them. - There is a culture that has allowed for a person in a leadership position to have an intimate relationship with someone in their org. The particular person has then received 2 promotions within 12 months. -The entire product team basically quit at the same time and the company responded by saying they had 'performance issues'. - They just fired 55 people globally. - The staff churn rate is 35%+ - The reputation in the market is shot and they are loosing big customers. - They increase sales targets just weeks before the quarter so they don't have to pay out commissions. - They treat people so badly it is laughable. - Did I mention the culture?
