Pros

My colleagues were exceptionally skilled, supportive, and collaborative. They consistently demonstrated dedication to their work, which helped create a positive team dynamic. Working alongside such talent made challenging days more manageable, and they were the primary reason I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

Lack of Leadership and Recognition: Leadership was disconnected from contributions, with rewards often going to those involved in office politics, leaving high performers overlooked. Work-Life Balance: There was minimal work-life balance, with frequent weekend work and expectations to handle last-minute requests, creating stress. Service-Oriented Product Direction: The company operated like a service firm, constantly shifting to meet client demands. Developers delivered rushed features with little input on feasibility, destabilizing the product and sidelining long-term vision. Management Competence: My manager lacked insight into the product and sprint planning, requiring me to guide them, making management feel like a burden rather than a source of direction. Growth and Favoritism: Promotions favored those who flattered managers over performers, creating unfairness and diminishing motivation, as advancement depended on relationships, not merit. Accountability Issues: Management failed to follow through on compensation promises, leading to frustration and demotivation, with hard work going unrewarded.
