Pros

- Unlimited/flexible PTO - Some good pockets of talented people and teams - Learning opportunities; warranted or not - Competitive pay during COVID era

Cons

Frequent Layoffs due to: - Incompetent leadership and senior management - Executives preach "People First, One Team, Path Finders, Trust, & Value" as the company pillars, but their actions tell a different story - Leaders are out of touch with their subordinates - Poor or non-existent infrastructure - Atrocious cash management/overspending is an issue; layoffs have accumulated to well over 50% of the workforce total today as compared to employee headcount before the end of 2022 - No standardize process between teams; duplicate platforms, processes, and operations exists which causes unnecessary employee stress, bottlenecks in work flow, & expenses - Lack of strategy in scaling the company through growth and operations caused uncontrollable cash burn typical of tech companies - Defective approach in downsizing/integrating multiple workers' responsibilities into leaner teams - Inability to figure out everyone's roles which leads to constant change in scope of work - No stability; recent situations where employees are hired and then are suddenly terminated in less than 2 months due to low-quality planning - In its current state, anyone who takes vacation or leave is in danger of being termed since management is focused on squeezing every employee dry of their sanity to accomplish unrealistic targets - Utilization of phantom job postings to convince workers to deliver at most output under the guise that "help is on the way"; assuming this is done to keep costs down - The above indicates the deteriorating state of company’s runway

Pros

Amazing people, complex and challenging tasks, interesting domain, great cross-department communications, a lot of people to learn from, Good ratio between freedom and support. Ability to grow in tech department. Tech management use meritocracy and supports bottom-to-top initiatives.

Cons

You need to be professional, experienced into self-management, proactive and resilient to hard times. Gaming and crypto were hit hard in the last years. Company had multiple focuses previously that led to overspending and layoffs. But learned from mistakes and now coming lean and mean.

Pros

Had fraternity culture before the need to "right size" and deliver.

Cons

The Interim CFO is an individual who lacks integrity. Since having to step up to her predecessor’s role, her team quickly disintegrated due to her mismanagement. This manifested in forms of toxic work environments by pitting team members against each other, retaliating towards individuals she disliked, and trying to force multiple subordinates into roles they did not want. And what’s worse is she cannot take accountability for handling situations dishonestly and instead uses the uncertainty of the tech industry as an excuse for being deceptive and manipulative. The concerning matter is leadership fails to see the damage she has done and that having an unskilled, insecure representative is a bad look for senior management.
