Pros

Overall a fantastic company with a layer intelligent hard-working employees at the bottom, and intelligent hard-working senior management at the top.

Cons

Middle management has existed forever, and seem to spend more time treading water than moving the company forward. It's a relatively new company that experienced a period of rapid growth, so the people who were successful at that time were the ones who tightly controlled everything and were less receptive to change, and then those people were promoted into key management roles. Now the company is struggling from the inside out.
