Pros

- good salary and benefits - very smart engineers and hard workers - some good managers and executives - some genuinely great people

Cons

At the time I was at the company, these were the cons: - frequent layoffs and turnover - many bad engineering executives and managers. Some seemed to just sit in meetings all day and do nothing to justify their salaries. Many had no healthcare experience and lacked domain knowledge, in addition to ideas or vision. If you are an executive in engineering in a startup company you need to be able to wear different hats and think of things from a product perspective. - Lots of engineering talent wasted essentially doing different permutations of the same project over years - not enough projects to work on to make use of engineering talent - managers ignored requests from workers to contribute to other parts of engineering department

micromanagement

Pros

After quickly getting acquainted with the industry's concepts and the company's working methods, I realized that progress plateaued swiftly. Despite the persistent chaos, not many new projects were actually happening. It often felt like much ado about nothing.

Cons

I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity that came with having been laid off from Iterative. I am breathing again. While I was there, my manager's management style tended heavily toward micromanagement. This was evident in her meticulous oversight of details, such as scrutinizing people's calendars. Yet, she failed to provide clear direction, guidelines, or expectations to assist them in their work. Her ambiguous, consistently cheerful yet intrusive involvement often disempowered team members, creating an atmosphere where individuals felt constantly monitored but were unable to escape her iron grip on every aspect of the team. Personally, I frequently experienced feelings of harassment due to this overbearing management style. Additionally, she had a tendency to introduce new processes or tools regularly, only to utilize them once or twice. This approach contributed to an overall sense of chaos within the organization.

Shaky ground

Pros

Insurance coverage is employer subsidized

Cons

Management knows we’re on shaky ground. Lack of seasoned senior executives who can’t manage teams or decisions. No money coming in, no business model or plans. Business staff have no life experience. Staff are pretending to exude positive company culture but it’s all a sham
