Pros

None. Chill stay at home job while you figure out your next step. Do not take this job seriously if you are an admin…there are tons of other jobs in the market that will treat you better.

Cons

If you want to kill yourself for a job and be gaslit by all means join us. You'll hear "you're invaluable", "here's more work to add to your already overloaded plate", "since you haven't perfected the last increase of work load we can't increase compensation, yet" You'll be in so many meetings that could, and should, be emails; or have no point at all. You'll get shifted sideways, with no advancement. Too much responsibility for the ever changing job description (if they give you one, been in the "new position" for 6 months and no job description) with no compensation adjustment for additional work. You get voluntold you're moving teams/jobs. You get no say. If you have a disability and ask for accommodations they will do the bare minimum. "Just stop having these kind of attacks" was my favorite line I got from the HR accomodation team. Other teams aren't as bad, I hear. But the turn over makes me question that.

Pros

They pay pretty well and try to meet/exceed industry salary averages.

Cons

The company is mostly run by a bunch of recent college graduates. I once heard a Director say they only hire them "young and hungry." So if you're older and or have actual prior work experience you may not appreciate the frat house atmosphere.
