Pros

Can't really think of any pros, I would have added working at scale as one of the pros but this is neutralised by the speed over perfection mantra that this org has. Even compensation can't be added here as most employees work over-time leading to the per hour pay way below industry, the only pro this company has in just creating hype, for e.g employee resigning is marketed as lots of job openings.

Cons
  • Upper management
  • long term vision is lacking, no proper processes setup for measuring impact in an objective way. Favouritism when it comes to promotions is very evident due to which talented teammates are leaving.
  • setting un-realistic expectations from teams even after team size is reduced.
  • giving buybacks at lower price even after employees have put up hard work to achieve profitability is a new low.
  • middle management
  • get some real management training instead of brute-force pushing employees
  • lacks understanding of basic skills project management which any seasoned EM would know, and rather use ad hominem reasons to motivate (or rather push) employees.
  • no regular team outings, it feels like we are working in a factory.
