At times, the company lacks visibility into broader company direction. I feel some challenges around product pricing and positioning.

Pros

The salary was livable, I guess. Office location was fine.

Cons

The main issue is that priorities shifted constantly — like, you'd start work on something, get halfway through, and suddenly it's not important anymore and now you need to pivot to something else that wasn't even communicated until that moment. Expectations were never clear from the start, and I'd get completely different direction week to week, which honestly gets exhausting. You'd spend time building systems based on what management swore was critical, then find out they'd decided on a totally different approach and nobody bothered looping you in. There's no way to do solid work when requirements change every five seconds and half the time you're finding out after you've already committed time and energy. I watched several other people leave for the exact same reason, so it's not just me being frustrated — it's a real pattern.
