Hope for the company but feels like a current speed bump

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty supportive culture and diverse set of employees. Co workers are highly skilled and the company is pretty open to innovation. Pay is decent.

Cons

Large overnight reduction in force and the CEO is MIA. Product direction constantly changing. Projects are presented as high priority and after hours required to complete by arbitrary dead lines, followed by business deciding a different direction the following sprint and scratching the project. Maternity leave is only 4 weeks paid, 8 weeks unpaid. For a company that brags about supporting diversity, improving this benefit should’ve been first of mind over giving another 5 days PTO to the company. There are several managers who are quick to cut you off, before fully understanding, and interject with their opinions that are irrelevant.
