Pros
  • Competitive pay
  • Work schedule flexibility, including a hybrid work setting
  • Modern technology stack
Cons
  • Zero job security, constant layoffs.
  • Stack ranking and PIPs will constantly keep you in anxiety.
  • Managers are great at increasing your anxiety by constantly reminding you about the cutthroat stack ranking process every two weeks in one-on-one conversations.
  • Workload can be very high, and you never know how much work is enough as "the bar is always rising."
  • Poorly trained middle managers can make your life miserable through micromanagement and poorly managed workload.
Advice to Management

Read the cons about the culture above and see what can be improved. I genuinely believe management doesn't want to improve these aspects of the culture, so there is no point in giving any advice.
