Pros

There are incredibly smart, well-intentioned people across the company who care about building something meaningful. You can take on real ownership, learn quickly, and have an impact if you’re proactive. Some teams collaborate well and push toward the right outcomes despite the noise.

Cons

Leadership instability and constant shifts in direction have become defining challenges. Priorities change abruptly, context is often limited, and there isn’t a stable product vision for teams to align to. Middle management is still developing and struggles with delegation, communication, and creating predictable operating rhythms. Expectations around output can be unrealistic and aren’t matched with clear planning or resourcing, which leads to burnout, avoidable churn, and a gradual erosion of trust.

-Great people in IC roles -Flexibility when it comes to in office work policy

Cons

Middesk today is nothing like it was a couple of years ago. Leadership seems to make big decisions without including the teams, and by the time anyone hears about them, it's already a done deal. Trying to bring up concerns or give feedback doesn't go anywhere. Instead of listening, leadership gets defensive, and it can feel like you're treated differently for speaking up. That makes people stop sharing their thoughts altogether. The culture has been getting worse, and leadership doesn't seem willing to acknowledge it. A lot of really good people have left because of it. You can't expect talented employees to stick around when they're led by people who don't listen or support their teams.
