Pros
The company is enduring its most challenging era yet, despite maintaining solid financial results. The founders have yielded to trendy practices such as aggressive cost-cutting, mandatory return-to-office policies, and other FAANG-inspired initiatives. The formerly lively culture of camaraderie and openness has entirely vanished. The current HR leader (CPO) is a complete catastrophe. This person, with absolutely no HR experience, is attempting to manage intricate teams. He has adopted outdated and detrimental business practices, cultivating a toxic environment across the Company. All avenues for employee input have been eliminated. Founders has insulated itself behind layers of bureaucracy and advisors, declining to address any issues not tied directly to financial metrics.
Cons
Most of the good achievements and brand itself created by the previous generation of People management and supervisors.
