Pros

An immersive learning experience in the fast-paced world of startups

Cons

I've been at this job for years, but things were never this bad before. Nobody feels secure in their position anymore. The experienced employees who used to solve problems and tackle challenges are either quitting or getting fired left and right, or being replaced with absolutely incompetent but cheaper people. The workload on the remaining staff keeps piling up higher and higher each day. It's like the company is pushing out all the talented, knowledgeable people who knew how to get things done. So the work environment gets worse and worse, making it increasingly difficult for the ones still there. Every day seems to bring more struggles without the expertise to properly address them. There's just zero stability - you can't count on staying employed no matter how long you've been loyal to the company or how hard you work. And the ever-mounting responsibilities without any leadership support at all is burning people out. It's turning into a workplace dystopia where employees are forced out while the remaining ones drown under impossible workloads.

Pros

1. Some great people at this company 2. Remote work

Cons

Decisions are often made hastily, without enough information, and this is resulting in bad decisions. I'm not sure if there is enough listening to our actual customers. To one particular leader, I also wish to convey a message that it would be wise to refrain from casting shadows on others. Such actions do little for your own reputation and the shade is not subtle. This isn't the first time this person has attributed poor outcomes to an individuals contributions rather than lack of product market fit and leadership decisions. I guess it's much easier to throw an employee under the bus. More effort should be made to distinguish between these things.

Pros

Having endured VendorPm unhealthy work environment, my new job at the new company is going to be like a walk in the park in comparison.

Cons

The very high engineering employee turnover rate speaks volumes about how dissatisfied the workforce is. Poor leadership and lack of any direction have created an extremely stressful and demoralizing environment.
