Liars & scam artists - going downhill
Pros
If you are inexperienced, you can get hired if the hiring managers like you. Most of them are in their early twenties and want people even less talented than themselves so they don’t feel threatened. Also, you can be as lazy or incompetent as you want and no one will care which is a plus for the untalented but if you are a professional it will be intolerable.
Cons
These are truly unscrupulous people. They are buying out all these other companies and laying off hundreds of people. Something shady seems to be going on with this. They lie to their customers and their employees about their new product they are building , and are planning on selling it as if it is something that it is not. Sales team is worried because they have stopped supporting their older successful products (their only source of money) to pour all their energy into the new product which is unusable because the design is so terrible. I haven’t seen it myself but everyone is complaining about it and those who speak up get fired. The UI is an embarrassment. Those on the “design team” who haven’t quit out of frustration are the absolute bottom of the barrel and they seem to hire only people who have no experience for some reason. Some aren’t even designers, including the head of design who is neither a designer nor does he have even one minute of experience, talent or know-how re: building a digital product, as is one of the main product managers in NY. No one is at the wheel. Backstabbing, lying and laziness are rampant. I’m quitting as soon as I find another job, but the problem is that I know they will try to ruin my reputation after I leave because they’ve done it to others before me. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. It’s just not worth it if you have integrity or a serious career Those whose opinions are not the status quo
