Pros
- Great people who genuinely believe in the company's vision - Remote-first culture with lots of flexibility
Cons
Very inexperienced people in leadership roles who do not know how to run a product-led business: - "Sweatshop" approach to engineering teams, no vision or support from VP of Engineering to plan for longer-term scale. Burnt-out teams, horrible dev tools, very poorly engineered solution that blows out feature delivery time. - Constant shift in priorities, leaving teams unprepared for delivering quality results. - "High-performance" culture with teams being judged by the number of features they ship. Teams and individuals get blamed directly in a very toxic way if they don't deliver on time. - The problems get hidden under the rug and not communicated to the CEO.
