Pros

-Some good people -Lots of opportunities to be creative (see below, also con)

Cons

-The senior management decision making is baffling at best -The wasted money...buying hundreds of computers without a use and then trying to find a reason to use them...dozens if not hundreds of NEW macbook pros purchased and then sitting for 1-2 years because no users want/need them. -creative opportunities because you have to be ultra creative to come up with solutions for some of their "Rube Goldberg" style systems -The malware incident...too many groups operating in a complete silo resulting in no policies and procedures for IT staff...which results in IT staff with too much permission and not enough thinking getting socially engineered. Try giving the proper people proper permissions...

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
