Pros

- Happy to burn money on parties, first class international travel & accommodations, swag - A lot of awesome people work here - Easy place to collect a paycheck and not be held accountable as long as you tow the central exec/founder team's line

Cons

- Politics of mediocrity and ego, rampant nepotism. Seems they'd rather appease family (both literal and figurative) and watch portfolio burn than adjust to what works and grow - Not results oriented. Entire portfolio is in decline despite market growing or staying flat, consistently fails to even acknowledge that drastic changes in management are necessary - Appears unable to hang on to outside leadership. Happy to speak to wanting to grow and achieve great things during the recruitment process. Will alienate, interfere with, and terminate new leadership that doesn't fall in line with existing leadership's micromanagement even if going against the grain yields tremendous portfolio growth - Ineffective board. Any other firm would have replaced its executive team after years of failure and mismanagement in an otherwise thriving market - Success doesn't seem to generate any credibility or trust. May get 6 months of successful execution before existing leadership inserts themselves in your day-to-day planning/execution process, and fires your peers when they push back - Consistent, frustrating failure to realize portfolio potential due to all of the above

Pros

Work with a ton of smart people, Stocked fridge and snack bar.

Cons

Insane hours completely negating the value of your salary. Office perception is more important than the quality of your work. (I was actually told this) Crippling micro manager, and project manager who didn't bother to create a login for the product he/she was managing.

Pros

Good food, events, benefits and office space; but only because of the local management.

Cons

Upper management in Vegas is horrible and makes drastic decisions that significantly impact the day to day vibe. You can't feel good about the company or what you do every day because there is always a stone being thrown. Just don't do it. Find a company that instills integrity, professionalism, people advocacy and success. There are plenty of companies out there that do!
