-Massive micromanagement. Why is something suddenly urgent? Why was a huge change made? Because the ceo says. Period.
-Toxic, inexperienced leadership. Some are incompetent and were brought in by the most recent, now gone cpo.
-Leaders don’t last long. Revolving door which means no strategy or processes remain for long. Expect changes quarterly so you never know what to do.
-Gaslighting. No matter how much experience you have at mature companies, you will begin to question if you’re crazy.
-Zero accountability for many. Product management is like nothing seen before. Most don’t know the product. Not that it matters since it is all down to what the ceo wants.
-Lack of alignment and communication across teams.. Teams don’t know what each other is doing or how their product areas overlap or inform each other of implications changes could have. Leads to many avoidable problems.
-Not built to solve user problems. Just copying competitors. Feature factory with nothing unifying. If you disagree with ceo or vp, you are overruled. they know best. If you want to think and be heard, look elsewhere.
-No HR. Big red flag.
-Very low morale. People struggle to make it through the day and week.
-Unreasonable timelines and huge workloads. If you complain, it’s on you for not being able to handle it.
-Total disorganization. No way to track what is happening or coming.
There was campaign for people to leave positive reviews. Find patterns and themes in negative or neutral reviews to see what is real.
