Lack of vision and leadership

Pros

Good pay, sometimes good work life balance, remote.

Cons

There is so much confusion internally. A lot of it stems from bad leadership but people often seem to not know what’s going on, things don’t get communicated well, everything is so disjointed and leaders make decisions without thinking through the implications which causes everyone to scramble. This often leads to decision being made that are short term bandaids, half baked ideas that cause chaos, issues, wasted time and stress for all. Also a lot of the time we hear leadership talk about our core values but they are not good at actually practicing them or creating trust and transparency across the organization. There needs to be a major shift in leadership because I feel like very talented and smart people are leaving or are left unmotivated as a result of the way things are run. I feel pretty stagnant here and I think a lot of people are only sticking around given the economy.

Pros

The people, the product and our culture.

Cons

There has been constant change in direction in our pricing, sales model and our strategy. People feel as though they could be laid off at any moment, organisation likely to be sold - zero reassurance that there won’t be lay offs/ we won’t be sold.

Pros

- benefits - paycheck - genuinely awesome colleagues - you can be 100% yourself

Cons

- engineer-driven company with no standards for processes; each VP silo does their own thing - design org is the scapegoat for deficiencies created by the VP silos, while engineers and product can do no wrong - product partners are date driven and don't include customers in the process - depending on where you are in the company, your experience can be amazing or it can be awful - micromanagement from c-suite - budget cuts to the point of no culture building beyond Slack channels - no alignment or north start amongst the c-suite
