Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. Look for changes to the 401(k) contribution model later this year. Your feedback is consistent with what we've heard before and we are listening.

Pros

- Team members are great and fun to be around. I've built a lot of friendships - Free lunch and snacks are nice - The opportunities for what's possible with the product are incredible.

Cons

- Executive Management team is overly controlling. - There is a lot of political work required to gain support for projects that are often halted after they get going. - Not a lot of room for upward career growth - Very reactive planning process, constant fire-fighting and impossible deadlines

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm really glad you are optimistic about the business and have made friends of your work colleagues. There aren't quick fixes to your critique but I will make sure the executive team understands the frustration you've shared. In the meantime, I'd suggest you reach out to a senior manager you feel comfortable with and share this feedback. The more people are involved, the more likely it is to get corrected and improve.
