- For a mid-sized company, there are a lot of layers/bureaucracy and managers/directors/senior directors, which means you'll do well if you're hired in at that level and/or you're good at playing politics. Started to feel like a table w/no legs to stand on though . . .
- Not so great for the doers and analysts who continually have more and more different managers giving them work to accommodate all the layers - I still don't know what some teams do and that's because of how the organization is set-up and the old guard being territorial over their roles/departments. You're either a doer or you're someone who presents the work of the doer to your higher-ups.
- Stock comp only given to managers and above, so makes it hard for individuals to feel vested in the company.
- Lack of transparency/communication and continued decentralization means you only learn one piece of the story and it's typically what you need to know to get the job done - again makes it hard to feel invested in the company.
- Culture, work/life balance, recognition and development is still dependent on your manager and function like at any company.
- Beware of being pigeon-holed just to maintain the team status-quo
- No established career development plan, except maybe for BDRs into Sales QBR roles. Best of luck to the rest of us.
- Pretentiousness runs high - relax it's just a job, things will get done.
