Pros

The employees ( leadership not included)

Cons

Leadership, including Jason, lacks self-awareness and prioritizes personal image over company growth. Success is based more on pleasing management than actual performance, which creates a demotivating environment. The company’s stated values don’t align with its actions. The CEO’s “all-hands” speeches are painfully repetitive, often telling the same story over and over without adding any real value or direction. It’s exhausting and feels like a broken record. The old CTO just ran away from it.
