Pros

So many: excellent benefits, great team culture, you're surrounded by winners, and a mission that matters.

Cons

Very fast paced and sometimes you have to burn the candle at both ends to get everything done

Pros

Coaching really is beneficial. They at least get that part right. When the company was focused on coaching and coaches, it was doing good work.

Cons

There is a broad, solid, unmissable line between "agile" and "chaotic", and BU is firmly on the "chaotic" side of that line. Imagine a friend or family member you know, who is extremely talented and intelligent, but struggles to be successful due to inadequately treated ADHD. Now imagine that's a corporate strategy, being touted as a virtue. No organizational structure lasts longer than a quarter. No initiative ever takes *less* than a quarter to bring to market, so work gets abandoned or deprioritized, half-finished. Conway's Law is universal, so the complete lack of consistent structure, strategy, or architecture, means the software is a nightmare, despite some extremely talented people working on it. Worst of all, in a company dedicated to helping others achieve psychological safety, there is no psychological safety. The company is governed by fear and scapegoating. It wasn't always that way, but somewhere in the last couple of years, they lost the narrative.

Pros

Amazing people, inspirational CEO, and a environment that can help you grow.

Cons

We are focusing on too many things and in the past didn’t put enough “love” into our main value producing software.
