Pros
Talented (but severely under-appreciated and overworked) ICs
Cons
- Constant layoffs of talented team members, with no respect for tenure or loyalty. - AI-obsessed leadership who change the roadmap and company direction with the wind based on whatever they last read online. - Promotion, rewards based on who you know, how liked you are, or tenure—vs talent or accomplishments. - Complete ignorance of the state of the industry and market, losing on both product and price (it shows). - Absence of an inspiring vision or team culture there once was, most employees are totally checked out. - Constant pushing of employees to move faster with simultaneous new red tape & processes to follow to the letter. - Burning money like no tomorrow on AI or consultants, or the cult-like company events, while gutting teams every other month.
