Pros

- Coworkers and teammates are some of the best people around - WFH flexibility

Cons

- Leadership turnover is constant, leaving teams without guidance - In the last few years employee turnover has increased dramatically too, with no apparent motivation for leadership to fill the gaps - Projects are put into motion with little planning, causing them to be stopped entirely or redone endlessly - ERGs are not supported my leadership, with founders and supporters actively being pushed out of GA - Getting paid a competitive salary is an uphill battle
