Pros: Really liked the LP culture. The team was very driven and execution-oriented. Extremely high operations bar, lots to learn on how to do things right.

Cons: Specifically to my org: tons of bureaucracy, politics, and being fake. Excessive planning got in the way of getting products to customers and iterating on feedback. Life/work balance was pretty terrible. As a manager living outside the US and working directly with the West Coast, I worked most days from 9 am to 9 pm. Thankfully, I was WFH during most of it due to COVID, but now the company is implementing RTO 3 days/week, so that'll take a turn for the worse for many people in similar situations.

Pros: Always fast-paced, good pay, and easy to move around.

Cons: Culture may be hard to get used to. Very impact-focused, heavy on metrics.

Pros: Strong customer focus. People with skills, ambition, initiative, and the ability to operate with much ambiguity can prosper.

Cons: Workload and review system designed to grind you down and create churn in the workforce. I was there for 3 years, and by the time I left, I was in the top 20% of longevity according to "The Old Fart" tool. The review system requires churn of the bottom 5-7% through managed, intentional attrition.
