Pros
The product has real potential, and there are capable people here who want to do good work. That’s what initially makes the company appealing.
Cons
This place is extremely unorganized, and it shows immediately. I joined a team that was positioned as high-impact, but in practice it feels under-supported and treated like a side function rather than a core. Day to day, it’s unclear whose direction matters. Input comes from all directions, priorities constantly shift, and focus changes with no clear outcome. When the team lead has little room to move, it’s obvious there’s no real path for growth for anyone else either. The experience is frustrating and draining. Even in structured environments with multiple commanders, there’s a clear chain of command so work gets done. Here, large meetings feel pointless. There’s no clear mission, no measurable results, just a lot of talk about optics instead of outcomes. If you want to put your head down and get real work done, this culture will be tough. The environment is messy and political, and for mid-level and junior employees especially, it’s hard to see a clear future here.
