Pros
- Some genuinely talented and well-intentioned people who care about their work - Interesting products and a lot of potential - When (if) you can find uninterrupted time, you can make meaningful progress
Cons
- Incredibly chaotic place to work with no clear direction, strategy, or leadership - Lack of professionalism or planning with countless hours wasted on useless calls and redoing tasks - Leadership changes direction every week and can’t seem to make or stick to decisions, creating frustration and burnout - Constantly launching new initiatives with no real plan instead of fixing and focusing on what’s already running - Far too many director-level and above who want to focus on “strategy” but don’t execute - No real goals or clear success metrics are defined, making it impossible to measure progress or stay aligned across teams - Long, stressful hours with no sense of progress or stability - Meeting culture is out of control, schedules are jampacked with unproductive calls that often go over time
