Pros
  • Many lateral opportunities in different areas, so long your manager approves.
  • Flexibility in work location/environment.
  • No presentations.
Cons
  • Low base pay, high turnover due to stock cliff.
  • Lack of vision from L6/7 level managers and L8 directors.
  • Toxic work culture at all levels.
  • Unfair URA targets, a common practice to PIP based on leadership principles and not based on project results.
  • Delusional writing principles for white papers.
Advice to Management

Set a vision for all levels. Hire people with detailed job descriptions, not just to hire so you can be a manager. Have a career development plan for employees. Be fair and just.
