Pros

Compensation and benefits. Nothing Else! One cannot pitch an idea or suggest improvements. Just do as the management wants you to do.

Cons

No direction what management is trying to achieve. Freshers and inexperienced people leading and management has literally no tasks other than micro management. It used to be a really good workplace once. Now with all the pillars of the organisation being either laid off or left, the organisation is in utter mess. Those who are in management are either bringing in their own friends and laying off others. High corporate politics, favouritism(One cannot grow well no matter how much they work) and no worklife balance. No This was once one of the best workplaces.

Hearing this from someone in Finance, where the work is demanding and the margin for error is small, genuinely means a lot. The fact that you're experiencing the culture as values-driven and not just values-stated is exactly what we're working hard to build. The pace is real and so is the opportunity, and we're glad that combination is landing as energizing rather than exhausting. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
