Increasingly Oppressive

Pros

Complex technical problems to solve

Cons

Disjointed, oppressive, sycophantic leadership replacing nearly every c-suite/VP/Director role. Forced stack-ranking stifling IC morale, cooperation, and innovation. Feels a bit like the 90s, early 2000s, as if the company is setting itself up to enter its own “lost decade”.

Pros

You can write a known company name in your CV in order to jump to another place.

Cons

The management's communication is often unclear, making it challenging for employees to understand their expectations. Additionally, they do not consistently provide effective tools and resources to support their staff. They also make you work overtime. Human resources frequently make promises they later fail to uphold, which can be frustrating for employees who rely on their commitments. The nature of the work is constantly shifting due to the lack of a well-defined path. For instance, you may find yourself working on a particular feature one day, only to be informed abruptly that you need to switch gears on a Friday to meet a deadline for something due on Monday. This constant change can be disorienting and impact job satisfaction.
