Pros
Competitive compensation and fancy titles are easily achieved. Tons of overload work to make a name for yourself.
Cons
COO has been poisoning the company since the board fired the founding CEO. Breaking groups into silos who don't talk, and can't make any decisions without his approval. Took the board 6 months to replace the founding CEO in 2020 at the onset of COVID when they fired him without warning, replacement, or transition plan. These 6 months destroyed the company. This same board is made up of 100% Beazley, who Lodestone is a subsidiary of, and leads to the company operating like an insurance org, not a technology one. The replacement CEO has ignored all cries for help from employees, and promoted the COO, empowering him to tear apart the company. Anyone not falling in line with the COO's old boys club, is ostracized and setup for dismissal. As a result numerous people have left the company, and none of the original leadership is still there, outside of the COO. As people have left, their workloads have just been pushed onto others, with expectations for them to still deliver on their current workload. As people have left, they've been threatened with the non-compete agreement we signed upon hiring (I was one of them), with demands like a 90 day exit plan. Others should know that 1. The RCA is too broad to be enforceable in court, and 2. You don't need to reveal your future employer when you give notice.
