Pros

- Great co-workers who are excellent to work with - Great benefits

Cons

- Unclear vision of the future - Tech debt plagues every area of the product - Leadership comes and goes, creating wakes of initiatives that are either unfinished or take forever. - CEO seems aloof. He has a great character, but isn’t providing much hope for a future. Many false promises on IPOs (three so far since I’ve been counting).

Pros

Interesting product we have access to use.

Cons

The biggest challenge has been the lack of consistency in strategy and leadership turnover, which makes it difficult for teams to build momentum and execute. Constant shifts in priorities create confusion and are frustrating. No transparency. The company is struggling to keep pace with competitors in terms of product innovation. Many teams feel they are spending too much time reacting to changes rather than building forward momentum. Too many time wasting meetings where everyone is camera off.
