Pros

You will gain experience because you will be working on a lot of things.

Cons

Horrible mid-senior level management.

You are running this company as a consulting business, yet you are a tech company. Pick one.

People are either completely burnt out or demotivated.

Compensation is well below average. Raises are below inflation, even though the business is ridiculously profitable.

Employees are not valued.

You can't hire because you don't pay enough; the market has moved forward, but you haven't.

The one time you did decide to pay at market, it took three weeks to approve the offer, at which point the candidate went elsewhere.

You have VPs that will yell at junior associates on calls.

You have more TPMs than engineers, and you include them in your standup calls.

You say you are remote-first, until an employee asks to relocate, and then you take them off projects.

Advice to Management

Take a hard look at your priorities. You are a tech company, but you're running it as a consulting firm. You underpay your employees, you don't value their work-life balance, and you spend hours on calls telling people that upwards and sideways mobility exists, until an employee actually asks for it. You disrespect employee feedback, and you retain mid and senior-level management that isn't qualified to be in their respective positions. It is so disheartening because you have brilliant people that love the work they do, but you do not invest in them in the way you claim you do. Within the same month, you had half of a team quit because of stress, low paychecks, and bad management. The number of negative reviews on Glassdoor are stacking up, and the positive ones are clearly fake due to the lack of information. This is embarrassing. You have so much potential, but
