Probably not worth your time

Business Outlook

Pros

Good mission. Some good/smart people.

Cons

Many people managers and product managers are unqualified and/or consistently underperform. Some of them are internal transfers that didn't have any previous experience in management or product but got promoted due to favoritism, company loyalty, or being "Yes men/women" (i.e. fake positivity, blind obedience). Little to no raises. I actually make less now than when I started, accounting for inflation.
