Cons
*Quality, experience-driven POVs are drowned out with prolific low caliber opinions-- and management has genuine difficulty deciphering which is which *People who stick around are those that don't stick their necks out to make the work better. THOSE neck sticker-outers do up the game for a moment... before they mysteriously disappear. If you join, best to stay cool and collected in observation mode for as long as possible while contributing just enough/ at the minimal level of expected value for your role if you want to stick around. *For a startup, there are a surprisingly large number of "do-nothings" that clog the pipes, slowing things down and somehow, as long as they are not "making waves", not being held accountable (and stay on the payroll- for YEARS). *Churn, churn, churn- It's been tricky getting meaningful work done around here simply due to the effect of the constantly revolving door/ poor retention * Once you have been deemed out of step with the hyper passive, conflict-avoidant culture, you will not be around much longer, deemed "Not a fit!". And no, your manager will not work with you to tune your approach to a more Dublin-inspired tune over time... they opt instead for the culturally easier "catch and release" approach to talent rather than a culturally incongruent "catch, inculcate and ADAPT" approach (which would be urgently necessary for transforming into/ building a truly stellar marketing org).
