Pros

Fully remote; Competitive Pay; Good product; Interesting tech stack; Frontline management are good people leaders.

Cons

Executive management team trying to cut its way to growth. Decisions leading to tech debt are encouraged, and staff reductions are made to save money instead of fixing core tech cost issues.

Quarterly cuts make it feel unstable, and there is a brain-drain of good staff leaving with low raises since cuts began.

Advice to Management

Management teams brought in for the express purpose of cost-cutting and IPO/sale will never be in the best interest of the business as whole, only the shareholders. And only that in the short term. If you really want to get a long-term, healthy business with a culture to be proud of: focus on growing people again and addressing tech debt.
