Pros
- Fellow engineers, designers, and (most) immediate managers are great people
Kontras
Senior leadership is extremely toxic and dishonest - There are lots of opportunities to give feedback, but such feedback will be immediately discarded in favor of short-term profit decisions. - Many people were hired as remote-only, but this was backtracked because the CEO changed his mind on a whim. CEO does not care about forcing employees to be exposed to Covid. - CEO openly praised greed as a virtue during a recent company-wide meeting, bragged about profits and runway, then a week later laid off ~38 people, including high-performing engineers. - Senior management keeps trying "fun" exercises like summer camp-themed team bandana colors, but it just ends up feeling like a poorly masked way to micromanage and hyper-optimize teams. (The modern version of a pizza party party, without the pizza.)
