Pros

Friendly, ambitious, and knowledgeable people at the Warsaw plant. Leadership has a clear sense of the end goal and is open to new ideas.

Cons

Onboarding is disorganized with little clarity on expectations. IT is rough. Many new hires seem lost. Work hours are long — evenings and Saturdays are the norm. Tensions occasionally boil over, though understandable given the startup chaos. Not every idea that gains traction is necessarily the right long-term call.

Pros

Enthusiastic colleagues, a great idea that has charmed the world, lots of interest and name recognition, scrappy environment and flat structure

Cons

Looks cooler from the outside. Chaotic inside; some is pace, some is individual managers who are great contributors on their own but not good at leading or supporting their reports. Lots of focus shifts and responsibility without authority. A bit of a cult around Brand. Great work, but everything else comes second. Hard to get buy-in and sign off on critical mid- to long-term projects that aren't brand. Lack of focus.
