Pros

What the organization strives to do is great. Lots of great people who want to make a difference. Good compensation.

Cons

For an organization that preaches bottom-up solutions, the place is run from the top down. It claims to be a place where people are empowered to solve problems and make decisions, but nobody feels empowered and instead most just try to guess what the leaders want to hear and just do that. Guess right and you are rewarded (happens rarely). Guess wrong and you are not. Ask for guidance and you are criticized for not being entrepreneurial. Challenge senior leaders when you think they’re wrong and you find yourself marginalized or being let go.

Pros

Resourceful and makes a good effort as a company overall to make sure employees are encouraged to share and contribute ideas. Welcoming to what you want to say than many other companies.

Cons

I can’t tell if it is other teams. But for my team the job has been very demanding, and being pushed to get things done faster and faster can be frustrating, especially when you are new are trying to learn and comprehend complex systems. Meetings can overload times to get any stuff done, and sometimes you can be micromanaged to a point you can become overtly stressed out. also if you are not a Republican, Libertarian, or at least pro Conservatism; you should keep that to yourself. Your political alignment like it or not can and will be used against you.
