Pros

Some of your colleagues actually try to do a good job.

Cons

Over a decade of terrible leadership has really come home to roost. The company is way below IPO price due to a steady stream of the worst executive hires I've ever seen. Is the new CEO and head of product any good? Who knows, but even if they are total geniuses they wont be digging out of the massive hole they're in. Talented collegues who weren't lucky enough to bail during a better job market are quitting anyway to take pay cuts, because who would you want to spend their time working for these people.

Pros

Mid-management is PHENOMENAL! People truly exemplify helping peers and pushing for outcomes. Decent processes for a company this size. Can get things out the door and track success in marketing. Being a former remote-first culture, they have the remote work and virtual partnership figured out.

Cons

Senior staff seems to lose sight of individual contributor bandwidth and motivations. The sneaky return to office messaging leaves fully remote employees feeling ostracized. Lack of actionable goals and direction setting. Promotion opportunities for remote employees. Bonus structure paid in stock, but as stocks aren’t doing well, the value of that dwindles.
