So much potential that was soured by toxic politics

Pros

Supportive and equitable culture, great people and empathetic leadership. The benefits are awesome, salary competitive and my manager was one of the best I've ever had. Operating in high levels of ambiguity is definitely a given here but so is a high level of autonomy and the option of developing your career in whatever direction you want to carve out for yourself. I really enjoyed working there and was gutted when I was one of the 19% impacted by layoffs.

Cons

Pervasive technical debt, lack of a global presence and information overload. Affirm err on the side of more information being better than less. Normally I'd agree with this philosophy, but the volume of email and notifications is incredibly hard to manage even with use of filters and automation. It's very easy to miss something important unless you allow your inbox to overflow with information

Pros

Benefits Challenging environment Always busy

Cons

Operations Leadership is out of their depth and this will not help move the company towards profitability but a fast pace to the demise. OLT praise those who focus on optics in highly visible meetings and recognize them over those who do the actual work.
