Pros
- The space has a huge amount of potential. To some extent, the company is taking advantage of it. - Good benefits, pay and conditions if you can get them. - Individually, people are very nice and supportive
Cons
- Extremely bloated organization (engineering and product in my experience) - even after a whooping FOUR rounds of layoffs (all in 2022) it is probably still bloated. Totally reckless hiring. - Many people with middle of the pack to subpar work experience have taken the opportunity afforded by a bloated engineering / product culture to prop themselves up on top of a house of cards org that is way too complex for the business the company is actually doing. So many corporate layers, so little actual work done, impact or value created. The downturn has revealed this extremely poor approach. - This makes career advancement really difficult for everyone but a select few insiders and loyalists. Extremely political environment overall. - Really unethical way of conducting business. Paying lip service to all kinds of great values but not living up to the majority of them
