Not the best place to be right now
Pros: There are some amazing people here. Don't get me wrong, there are some awful people as well. But, there teams where you can be really happy and enjoy just about everything you do without burning out in 6 months. And, with the org flattening that occurred, lots of the "bad" middle managers are gone.
Cons: Not so sure about the exec leadership. The pendulum has swung way too far with regards to flattening the org. There are a lot of very unhappy people right now that really question exec management's decisions. Don't expect the system to just work and you will be good...it often doesn't work at all.
