Pros
- The team - Flexible work arrangement - The customer-focused and people-centric culture that once was there and is still showing through some people in the organization. But is not developed further and not supported by leadership often.
Cons
- Poor leadership capability - Lack of transparency on company decisions - If you're in a management role - expectations of you are high, but you're on your own without a company strategy, and goals, no one will help you align with others. You might find yourself in a hostile environment. Most employees hold on to the legacy of a once strong and successful startup company, where you can create great meaningful software and truly enjoy what you're delivering. This is still what is sold during interviews but you'll come to an organization full of politics and no transparency, no alignment on the goals between teams.
