Pros
Large headcount with many talented engineers Well funded startup Competitive pay Good location and office facilities
Cons
Lack of financial discipline and wasteful spending Large round of layoffs Unrealistic project timelines driven by inexperienced leadership Concerningly unqualified and disingenuous leadership at all levels of the organization. Leadership and management have repeatedly shown a lack of empathy showing limited consideration for employee well-being. Many employees were pushed to work long hours by upper and C-level management to meet a key milestone, only to be laid off just days after its successful completion High turnover of experienced professionals, with a focus on retaining less qualified staff Overly siloed organizational structure and excessive managerial headcount hindering cross-functional collaboration Toxic, cliquish workplace culture Bullying behavior openly prevalent and largely ignored by both management and HR. Unrealistic project timelines driven by pressure from inexperienced leadership Numerous safety concerns, including fires and gas leaks, with a reactive approach to incidents Experienced engineers are often sidelined when offering feedback that challenges leadership or the status quo
