      Chaotic leadership. Unclear career path. You can be terminated any time, with no heads up. Toxic environment constantly chasing metrics.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

      Cons

      Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
