Pros

Exposure to large-scale product and verification operations Decent peers at mid-levels, some good collaborative teams MidStrong brand name for résumé value

Cons

Senior leadership, including the Global Chief Product Officer, prioritizes ego over expertise. Product direction feels reactive and misaligned with ground realities. Culture rewards only “yes-yes” employees. Anyone who challenges or proposes new ideas is sidelined. Top talent is consistently let go or demotivated, not due to performance but due to leadership insecurity. Poor transparency in decision-making. Lack of respect for real contributors.
