Pros

Really smart people Entrepreneurial energy You will make a lot of money CEO's heart is in the right place

Cons

A family owned business; there are many "hangers on" that would never have survived if they were not personal friends with executives. Leaders tend to listen to the last person in the room. Gossip and vendettas against other team-mates are not only tacitly approved but rewarded. This is a place where you can literally climb over your bosses back if you can take them out.

Some employees rally behind employees

Cons

A toxic workplace where managers prioritize personal advancement over the firm’s interests, and employees act out of insecurity by undermining coworkers rather than focusing on their own performance.
