Pros
  • Awesome peers with great qualities to learn from.
  • Good pay.
  • Interesting challenges to solve.
Cons

Every other week, something new becomes a P0, tossing out all the work done till then.

There's no clear path ahead for the product, and we're just trying to keep up with the competition.

Work-life balance is quite bad, and any feedback to improve it is tossed out.

The requirement of staying online from 8-11 PM for syncing up with other timezones doesn't make sense if the company is remote-first and trying to promote an async communications culture.

Advice to Management

The hustling culture could fit for some, but in the long term, it just burns out the people in the company and could be a primary reason for higher attrition rate.
