      Don't be upset if you don't get hired

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Snacks, office, catered breakfast/lunch sometimes, friendly employees

      Cons

      - Not a competitive salary so employee loss and under-engagement don't surprise me - There seems to be intentional understaffing as if company is preparing for a sale. - Lots of propaganda and koolaid being served. - The executive/upper management teams try to make employees feel responsible for making up for their lack of planning through the "going pro" initiative. Things (procedures, systems, team coordination) don't work well and it makes it very hard to do my job.

      Pros

      Strong competitive position (big market share of startups and VC firms) allows firm to grow without pushing any boundaries. Interesting work without long hours or much pressure.

      Cons

      Management is self-satisfied but second rate. The layer below the CEO is particularly weak. Senior management has a "what's in it for me" attitude and avoids accountability. The CEO and senior management have their favorites, and they're often weak performers. HR is a mess.
