Pros

Remote flexible, unlimited PTO (although this is just to avoid actually having to track and manage PTO)

Cons

Leadership don’t know what they’re doing. The in fighting and jockeying for position across leadership is toxic and wasteful. They’ll sink money into unnecessary excessive things and cut staff who are actually doing the work. They’re not interested in foundational infrastructure so the whole thing is shaky. IT is basically non existent, HR is constantly turning over. Marketing is a joke. And basic P&L understanding is lacking. The frat boys on top are playing “business” and using Big Words but it’s all rather pathetic.

Pros

The people generally aren’t bad.

Cons

How would you like to help the interest of companies under litigation for pesticides? How about big pharma and big tobacco? Maybe you’ve dreamed of helping a certain home sharing service get into nyc during a housing shortage or beleaguered ai platform fix its reputation? Big banks justifying fees is another favorite. Penta is struggling. It can’t even articulate what it does. It’s using GPTs to create faulty agents and then selling that as some newfangled product. If you have any self respect or ounce of ethics left you’ll work for a different firm that actually makes the world a better place.
