Pros

You make a difference and the core business of the company is fulfilling. People who work there are really good people

Cons

Lots of good ideas and potential with the platform but things don't always move fast enough because there wasn't a unifying vision - more from fire to fire

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
