Pros
Some peers have good intentions, and want to do good work.
Cons
- Feels like an actual fraudulant business - I used to think that the reviews were exaggerating when talking about how poorly this business is run but they were unfortunately true. The solution being pitched is nowhere near what it needs to be (and sold to be), and it feels like you're fighting your internal morals when talking to customers. Leaders want to hide the lack of progress with selling the vision, but paying customers are expecting real products, not the idea of one. - Scapegoating employees for bad leadership decisions - at the recent layoffs, several tenured employees were let go. These tenured employees often navigated this toxic workplace as well as they can, but were often the messenger of the bad decisions made by leadership. With the recent round of layoffs, it was evident that the leaders wanted to shift blame to the do-ers and not take accountability for the bad decisions they had forced on their employees. - Ruled by fear - regardless of your abilities and skills going into this role, it is unlikely that you will be able to stand on what you believe. The leaders want what they want to be done, regardless of what your opinions are. Many of these thoughts are not great, and are often just a fleeting thought they had in the middle of the night. It is not explicitly said but you are expected to deliver on these fleeting thoughts during off-hours. Many discussions and important decisions (with often detrimental consequences) are made on weekends and at night, so any semblance of work-life balance is an illusion.
