Pros
  • Fast-moving culture.
  • High growth.
Cons
  • Fast-movement culture that brings toxicity and bad politics.
  • Seniors and managers hold a lot of power.
  • Expectation to work 14+ hours a day.
  • AI is being taken as a golden key to unlock anything. Leadership wants to use AI in everything without thinking, leading to churns, scalability, and maintainability concerns, which are then again blamed upon the SDEs for not maintaining a high bar.
Advice to Management

Management needs to manage their team in a better manner.
