Pros

- product and app has a ton of potential - really smart, dedicated, talented co-workers - mission-driven brand and company -

Cons

- top-down culture disempowers mid- and lower-level employees - toxic boys club seems to permeate leadership - inconsistent WFH policies are an excuse for favoritism - gut intuition and leadership ego drive decision making instead of consumer research or data - middle managers and junior employees are held accountable for leadership decisions and held to unreasonable or unmeasurable goals - low pay and cold, disorganized HR team - product/feature development velocity is incredibly slow for an innovative tech company - culture of putting down competitors instead of learning from them - constantly changing timelines, budgets, targets, etc with very poor communication from leadership

Pros

The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

Cons

Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
