Pros
- WLB is pretty decent. - Culture is still positive, not as good as before. - Blue ocean, not many competitors out there. - Problem space has lots of potential. - Quite bottom-up, but data can be a bit irrelevant sometimes. - Lots of very pleasant colleagues to work with. - WFH flexibility. - Decent perks such as coach, WFH supports, etc. - Reasonably easy to hop teams and learn a wide range of topics.
Cons
- Below industry compensation. Still trying to sell a culture that is going to be no longer there. - Culture is changing with the adoption of remote work, 6-weeks cycles and the increasing hires from the silicon valley. - Reluctance to give existing employees raise or promotion. Limited career growth. - Inconsistent and vague performance assessment and expectations. - Some unqualified managers. They could use much better training. Some of them lack empathy, skill and responsibility. - Lots of gas-lighting. - Not a data-driven company, for most of the product teams data sits at the back seat. - Data tech stack is both immature and outdated at the same time. - Diversity on top is still lacking.
