Business Outlook

Pros

Charismatic and strong CEO who has successfully led the company from startup to IPO Offers competitive salary and stock package Lots of intelligent employees who are motivated to do what's right for the company

Cons

Politically charged environment in which employees are mistreated and blamed for bad decisions made by upper management Quick to terminate employees who have performed strongly regardless of tenure Poor management at VP and upper management level in which employees are not well respected for their contributions Company has adopted a cult-like mentality and doesn't offer the type of diversity and creative freedoms for employees to thrive in this environment despite claims to adopt an inclusive and collegiate environment
