Good team culture but unclear leadership and workload issues

Business Outlook

Pros

Individual team culture is good depending on leader. Unlimited PTO, good benefits.

Cons

Leadership is unclear in direction. Giving arbitrary guidance on AI usage or RTO without context. Innovation is dead, growth by acquisition is their playbook. This means almost annual RIFs and teams being overworked.
