Pros

They had free coffee, tea and other beverages. Parking was free in a covered ramp. Benefits were very good.

Cons

Poor systems, could not find data to do my job, no direction, staggering amounts of time wasted just trying to get simple information - had to use one-off Excel spreadsheets with questionable data and sourcing just to pull anything together. There was constant confusion about basic data (i.e. sales $, sales units), let alone anything more complicated. No standard procedures, processes, organization, etc. (I was left waiting for an hour - twice - during my on-site interview. I should have left then.) Office environment was extremely noisy. Titles are also very confusing - everyone seems to be a "Head" of something. Very few women in leadership positions. Run, don't walk!
