Pros

A reasonable work life balance. A number of truly talented workers.

Cons

The C-team is inexperienced and hence oblivious of how to financially and strategically run a business. Company vision is actively shared and therefore transparent but is often vague and inaccurate. Favoritism is prevalent, career development is a joke, and communication is nonexistent. Expressing negative feedback and dissenting opinions are viewed as inappropriate and ill-mannered. Management will only value you on your ability to comply. Work is never accredited to the correct people and there's no true ownership of anything. Management is completely ignorant of how anything really works and therefore incompetent in making decisions.

Pros

You do get exposure to different problems fast.

Cons

The training barely helps, then you get judged hard when you struggle. When layoffs happened, it felt rushed and careless, like people were just numbers. Managers tend to talk down to you and pass blame instead of fixing problems. Upper management stays out of sight and only shows up to shut things down. Teams don't really work together, everyone stays in their own bubble and ignores the bigger picture. Bullying is brushed off like it is no big deal, even when it happens right in front of everyone. Growth is a mystery because no one explains roles, levels, or what comes next. HR is basically useless. If you complain about anything, you get shrugged at or told it's not their problem. People who cause issues are allowed to stick around, which drags everyone else down. Morale is so low, it's hard to care about doing good work when the environment is constantly draining. Communication is a complete nightmare. Decisions are made randomly, then dumped on your team with no context. You're expected to figure it out yourself while managers stay in their offices and act surprised when things go wrong. It feels like chaos is the only plan.
