Pros

- Company gives away senior titles to everyone (a ton of "directors" and "senior managers") - You get to learn how to build a KPI system that forces your employees to compete both against their peers and their own historical performance (the system new management embraced is eerily similar to the ones used by plantation owners to get maximum productivity out of their slaves). It's based on misguided assumption that all devs are the same and interchangeable, and that managers do a perfect job breaking down ticket sizes.

Cons

- low salary - used to be relatively lax remote environment (until new management forced RTO and introduced FAANG-style quotas without adjusting anyone's salary)

Pros

Can only speak for the product side of things: Good amount of smart people with diverse backgrounds. There is a lot of space to make an impact on the product. Many parts of the product are not at their potential so there is potential for huge company wins. Starting to hit our stride in terms of how we think about opportunities, product ideas, and implementation. Pace is fast but manageable. Will keep your mind fresh.

Cons

Occasional alignment chaos but it is definitely getting better as we create better operating models. Ambiguities sometimes manifests in teams rowing in slightly different directions. Coworkers can be pretty direct to a fault. Org needs to work on team mentality and just generally being respectful of each other in every way.

Pros

- Flex PTO was nice - Decent work life balance - Remote work

Cons

- When I received my promotion I was told that I would get back pay for the start of the year, they cancelled that and only gave us stock options -HR messed up my W2 more than once, AND DIDN'T PAY me one time. They accidentally switched my role to hourly when I was a salaried employee. - My manager promised I promotion that came a year late with a 2% salary increase.. - There was no growth trajectory - My manager lied to me on multiple occasions
