Pros

The product is competitive and I think it's the future for fighting Fin crimes. The business may be quite successful on PLG alone. There are some great people doing phenomenal work. The pace of work is competitive to growing a successful business but not overwhelmingly stressful. I think leadership means well but is too inexperienced to understand their decisions and commands are inconsistent and steer certain employees in the wrong directions from OKR's.

Cons

This business is not well ran. There's a lack of planning, resources and consistency. Nothing is done without the CEO's approval. Micromanagement and lack of empowerment are huge components to the high employee churn across teams. The best teammates have left and continue to leave the business because of this. There is no board or accountability for an inexperienced executive team and it's causing a lot of thrashing in what our product is and where the companies resources are going. This means there's a lot of pointless and dead end work being done across all teams- worse yet employees are being fired or blamed for this as a result.

"Embrace Intensity" as a core value should be a red flag for most.

Pros

It seems like efforts are finally being made to address some of the very obvious issues with leadership turnover, lack of culture, empathy for employees, and product roadmap communication. It could be too little too late for many of today's more tenured people.

Cons

Engineering, product, and CS not aligned with Sales, Marketing, and Operations. People team is understaffed and expected to "create culture" when it is clear that employee well being is an afterthought. CEO remains tone deaf to the fact that empathetic leadership is lacking and that not everyone is motivated by the same things. Only cares about growth at all costs. High-level strategy is unclear and people are expected to pivot from planned activities or take on way more than what is acceptable to reach ridiculous, unfounded goals.
