Pros

We have Macs, Slack, smart coworkers, and a cool space.

Cons

Bad culture focused on blame and with no direction. Never really broke the startup culture and now super bogged down by bad systems.

No raises, common PIPs, no communication beyond assigning more work. Issues never taken seriously until something breaks.

Lots of work to make this company workable again IMO. Varies by team but writing in on the wall.

Advice to Management

Protect your workers, or you’ll have none left.
