Lower Your Expectations
Pros: Pay and benefits are fairly good.  Fun to play with the technology (dog food).
Cons: Most of executive finance management is mediocre at best; very self-protective.  Can't tell upper management the truth.  Way too much dilution from inexperienced hires in management ranks.  There is not a real performance management system.  Not a lot of capability.  Too many experienced people leave or are pushed out.  Published values are not reality on the inside.
