Company in Trouble

Pros

No accountability or expectation to complete anything, so long as you have "SMART Goals" input into HR's system.

Cons

-Zero leadership -Homogenous - zero diversity of thought, which has led to no innovation or ability to question direction or processes. -Nothing ever gets done - the company is YEARS behind the competition. -The company has not made a net profit since 2022. -Absolutely no career mobility or opportunities. -Low pay, does not meet inflation - they rely on their no-accountability work policy and remote life to keep seats filled. -Company talks a big diversity game, but there is no diversity of thought, which isn't conducive to a successful business. -You can find better compensation and a healthy work life balance outside of this failing company.

Pros

Remote work. Fun people and culture. Discounts.

Cons

Reactive and chaotic work is the norm. Lack of horizon planning beyond the immediate future. Leaders do not bring each other and their teams along in their work. No opportunities for advancement. Strong preference for hiring external candidates. New hires and leaders can't hit the ground running amidst the chaos.
