Pros
* Fantastic workmates, some really great minds here. (I should've seen the trend when they started pushing out and ignoring some of those minds though, as well as some of those minds leaving voluntarily. ) * Great idea / overall goal * Good benefits (medical / dental / vision)
Kontras
Company culture has gone dramatically downhill in the last couple of years, it used to be 'work hard play hard', now its either 'work hard, dont play' or 'work nothing, we dont care because yours isnt a highly scrutinized / visible job'. They've pushed out some of the best minds at the company -- alternative approaches and generally any sort of dissent (healthy, not subversive) is ruthlessly cut out and vilified. Leadership consistently misrepresents what's going on and how well the company is doing Leadership promises outlandish and crazy things Leadership constantly lies about promises made and says they weren't made The focus / path of company product also changes very frequently, making pretty much everyone except the people 'in the know' ineffective -- you're stuck building or developing something that may be outdated Reward / Bonus structure is wholly inconsistent across the company. Distinct lack of communication from the top in regards to the focus / goals of the company at any given time. Huge loss of money overall to multiple failed half-implemented strategies. Instead of building something and marketing it, leadership has largely half-built things and then stops building on those depending on where the next check comes from. Product Management flails because Leadership gives them almost zero clear direction. There's almost zero though given to altering / addressing core issues rather then addressing pretty much everything as surface-level personality conflicts.
