1. Splice takes a lot of pains to make itself out to be mission-driven, but it's run by the standard bunch of greedy capitalists you'd expect at any tech company. The entire leadership team is former Adobe, which should be enough of a warning. Expect capricious business decisions, frequent pivots, and the annual tradition of laying off employees right before the holidays in the interest of operational efficiency.
2. There seems to be a competition of who can be the most special, precious, smartest boy in the company, especially on the Engineering and Data teams. Expect lots of sneering and standoffishness from gatekeepers that are empowered to not get anything done.
3. Speaking of gatekeepers, there are lots of people who are empowered and encouraged to keep you from doing your job.
4. Limited career growth though few people are there long enough to effectively cultivate a career and move within the company. Few people are still with the company from before Kakul took over.
