Pros

They offered equity and a good vacation day count.

Cons

Pretty much everything else KPIs set by people who clearly do not understand what performance is in software engineering. Ticket count does not indicate performance if the value of the tickets the team are delivering counts for little Lack of empowerment, micro management, toxic leadership, a poor Senior VP in the US with no technical background and poor leadership style leading to burn out and toxic culture.

Calling people out in meetings, challenging is one thing, however the leadership call people out in front of teams in a very poor way. It is really super toxic. Poor expectation management and planning from leadership, both engineering and product. Wasteful with resources then complain when features are not delivered.
