Pros
  • Good pay
  • High profile job
  • Good place to learn and connect with talented people
  • Fast growth
Cons
  • Performance review-driven environment creates toxic competitiveness, and incentivizes everyone to look for measurable, very short-term wins rather than valuable work.
  • Recently, the company has been extremely top-down, aggressively taking lots of disruptive decisions and enforcing them on the whole company without any room for pushback.
  • Very high turnover rate.
  • WLB can be very bad.
Advice to Management

To build a successful company, you need successful employees. Try to attract them, respect them, and give them autonomy rather than treating them as replaceable production units.
