Pros: The culture is fairly good and the workforce is diverse.
Cons: An inexperienced management team has a negative effect on individual contributors. Raising issues is met with harsh criticism and the risk of discontinued employment.
Lots of attrition and lateral movement across teams occur due to dissatisfaction with management. This causes teams to have to "start over" frequently, reducing the quality of the product and slowing innovation.
New employees often receive little to no onboarding.
