Pros

You'll work with many talented ICs and peers until they too decide to leave

Cons

-Incredibly high attrition rate, bleeding top talent -Mediocre executive leadership team with no track record of successfully running a company but exceptionally adept at destroying morale unlike anything I've ever seen. No self-awareness or ownership that they are the cause of the attrition. -Eroding benefits over past year, including significant cut to parental leave and higher healthcare benefit costs (amongst many others) -Excessive micromanagement by CEO across nearly all functions, causing a wake of destruction in his path. Constant pivots in direction burning out teams and hindering company growth. No vision, no inspiration. -Other ELT members: will publicly post that remote workers are NPCs who will be replaced by AI, will blame everyone but themselves for subpar sales performance, and will leave a five star review here when they've been repeatedly called out for discriminatory behavior and general incompetence. CFO is decent though. -Worthless equity with low confidence of anything improving
