- Lack of autonomy: you need permission for everything you do from executives who do not understand (nor do they care to) the product. They will tell you that you have the freedom to propose ideas but in the end they push their own ideas so don't waste your time. - Arrogant executives from San Francisco who think they are amazing but are just corporate puppets who were good at the corporate growth game. - Bullying from some executives in the Product and technology org: if you are not part of their "Circle of trust"(meaning you got hired by them), you should not expect any career growth. Worse, whatever you do is not good enough and they will burn you out. - Culture has gone downhill with new management - Career growth - Pay

Most senior management has been flushed and replaced with new "leaders" who rule by fear and intimidation. Company on paper seems to be doing very well but morale on the ground is terrible. Arbitrary firings and treating the employees who built this company as if they are incompetent has many very talented people looking elsewhere.
