Cons
-toxic culture, headless chickens when it comes to planning, can’t stick with the roadmap. -extreme pressure and stress, expected to do 5 things at once, never allowed to focus -very weak devops and lack of unit testing and quality controls -teams like threat intelligence do low quality work and constantly show “ideas” that never go to production and get recognition, while teams that do the fundamentals right are told they aren’t delivering -threat intelligence hides what they do in secret git repos and gets their own budget and they burn millions on useless tools while the rest of tech fights to lower costs -ruthless management, treats people as disposable, no recognition for top performers -constant turnover in every area -CEO constantly hijacks roadmap -no one is ever allowed to say no to even ridiculous requests because “we all work for sales”… other departments free to dump on tech without justification of what they ask for -frequent layoffs and hiring freezes -messy planning process, engineers constantly building products without requirements -no work life balance, no one actually gets to use their “unlimited vacation “ -even founding team / early employees fired without a second thought, no one is safe -ceo constantly asking for random stuff, everyone is expected to jump -turnover very high but even more extreme at exec level, especially in product
