Pros

The people and mission are great

Cons

Leadership and strategic direction is amateurish. CEO won't retire, he spends maybe 2 days a month in the office. CFO won't cut costs in his own department, yet all other departments are cut to the bone. The only deliverable is a calendar full of meetings to talk about stuff that isn't getting done. Company runs hundreds of major projects at the same time with no clear focus or leadership.

Typical large-company bureaucracy can slow decision-making and execution. Internal processes and approvals may require patience and persistence.

Career progression may occasionally depend on understanding and adapting to corporate dynamics.
