Vantaggi
- Good process controls that seem to work most of the time, which make some things flow smoothly - Lots of snacks - Well-stocked bar - Free lunch on Wednesdays, and the food is good - Great location near public transit, restaurants, shops
Svantaggi
- Bureaucratic and slow-moving; not the "dynamic, fast-moving start-up" they claim to be. Trying to be cautious / conservative, but ends up costing because it takes too long to realize they're going the wrong direction. - "Us vs. Them" mentality between PA and CA offices - Some groups think their role is to say "NO" instead of helping find ways to get to "YES" - Very strict job descriptions that lead to a lot of "That's not my job" and "I'm not allowed to do that." - Tolerance for people that clearly don't know what they're doing but are allowed to keep trying despite inability to deliver results. - Management tries to "spin" issues in ways that any semi-intelligent child could see through, for example, as mentioned in an earlier review, the CEO is always saying "We're in a different space than <competitor> (who is half our age and eating our lunch)" and then proceeds to compare ourselves with them constantly, and trumpet "wins" against this competitor, and "We're going after enterprise deals" (and then can't close them).
