Great people, terrible work-life balance
Great people, terrible work-life balance
Opportunity to work with some of the smartest people in the industry.
Resolve challenging and unique problems.
- Poorest work-life balance in 15+ years of experience.
- Bad practices: "move fast" culture and performance pressure too often translate to poor code quality and industry-recognized bad practices, both technical and behavioral.
- Constant fear of underperforming (really high pressure) causes a real issue with burnout.
- Too HQ-centric: the further you are from the HQs, the more you feel secondary.
- Encourage teams to do less, but better.
- Encourage best practices through culture and company tools/processes.
- Diversify revenue sources to reduce dependency on advertisements.
