Pros
smart, kind colleagues, below the management tier
Cons
There’s always a fire to put out and multiple execs asking you to prioritize their requests. The leadership frequently changes their priorities, leading to whiplash for employees. They also constantly ask their teams for reams of data and changes to how things are reported to help make their decisions, but I’m not sure it’s helpful. In fact I think these constant information requests and reporting changes contribute to how quickly management changes strategic priorities, i.e. ironically the opposite of decision paralysis. Lastly, benefits are bad. Only 10 days of PTO, poor health insurance, poor equity options, and short parental leave for fathers even though the CEO constantly talks about the company being supportive for families. Laid off a tenth of their staff earlier this year in response to pressure from KKR board members. There are also no mentorship opportunities or serious conversations about growth and professional development
