Pros

Salary is good. Equity and unlimited vacation sound nice (but don’t expect to really use it).

Cons

Nobody knows how to actually ship things. Projects drag forever or die quietly.

Zero transparency. Everything important is hidden.

Critical bugs are swept under the rug so customers don’t find out. It’s scary how much gets covered up.

Management is all politics. Your team lead will happily stab you in the back if it helps them look good.

At first, it feels like you hit the jackpot, but the longer you stay, the more you realize the place is completely broken inside.

Advice to Management

Stop pretending everything’s perfect and start fixing the mess. Be honest, stop hiding problems, and maybe try treating people like humans instead of disposable shields.
