Pros
- Most coworkers are friendly, empathetic, and want to do the right thing.
- Good work life balance because the pace is slow.
- Some teams genuinely care about helping Taskers and clients.
Cons
- Engineering velocity is low because the system is old, brittle, and understaffed, yet expectations are set as if everything is modern and scalable.
- Reorgs every quarter and shifting mandates create a sense of instability, and employees rarely get clear communication about what is happening or why.
- High performers leave because they get tired of fighting for basic alignment instead of building valuable work.
- The gap between what leadership says publicly and what actually happens internally is wide, which erodes trust fast.
- Psychological safety varies wildly by team, which leaves people censoring themselves rather than speaking truth to power.
