Business Outlook

Pros

1. Compensation is mostly in-line with the market 2. Some of the leaders in the business are great to work with, and by and large the work can be interesting every now and then

Cons

1. Finance "leadership" is horrible, and lacks even the most basic management skills 2. Tools and systems are among the worst anywhere 3. Expectations and timelines are completely misaligned with capacity and capabilities resulting in long hours, tight turns, lots of stress, and poor moral 4. Annual turnover is ~70%, so most things are a complete mess, few things are documented, and processes are all but non-existent 5. Given the revolving door you would at least think on-boarding should be good. You would be VERY wrong 6. Company doesn't promote or develop talent, choosing instead to constantly go external for hires - adding even more fuel to the turnover fire
