Pros

- friendly employees - good WLB (depending on the team)

Cons

- topdown decision making - leadership is greedy, shortsighted, and very demanding - messy tech stack, lots of tech debt - incompetent tech and product decisions because of favoritism and incompetent leadership - most PMs are not experience enough. hiring bar is very low. they do prefer talkers than doers - not a lot of career opportunities. managers don't care about giving feedback and growing employees - not a lot of good projects to work on. people in general are not motivated because of bad product vision and poor tech stack - churn rate is very high since new CEO took office

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
