Business Outlook

Pros

- Good food. - Still have a lot of potential if they can right the wrongs and truly put the right person in charge.

Cons

- Chaotic management and product roadmap. - Mediocre middle managers who know little about the technical aspects of the team or the projects. Due to constant reorganizations, a lot of the managers are assigned to teams or projects that they have no technical expertise in. - Lack of product vision. Suffer from extreme short-sightedness to boost MAU and revenue number to satisfies Wall St.. Lurching from crisis to crisis and stuck in a vicious cycle. - Over-reliance on AB testing to determine which features to launch, sometimes in the expense of user experience. Features launches are delayed due to unfavorable DDG results on certain metrics even when the features are clear improvement for customer experience. - People are leaving in flocks. Lots of people who joined before IPO, who are truly passionate about what they do and passionate about the company, left because they do not see the company appreciates their contribution and the management in the company have the trust in them.
