Pros

You can be yourself and you get free games. Cool Office.

Cons

I'm actively job hunting but this current market is not making it easy to leave. Clear Hierarchy of Employees: There are senior leaders with offices then everyone else. Don't even try to be a temporary worker or you'll be treated as a second class citizen and there's little to no chance you will be converted. If you want to work in an office with cubicles where you're forced to come in but no one in senior leadership does this ones for you. Lack of clear strategy: There were no OKRs for the past year, and the company has been in complete disarray with confusion of strategy and role clarity. I've had multiple people tell me that they didn't understand what they were supposed to be doing in their new roles as the org restructured for the third time. Lack of Development Opportunities: They've discussed something about career paths but nothing has come of this in years. The HR team is painfully slow at getting anything done and makes changes with no rhyme or reason.

Pros

Congratulations on joining an IT department sustained primarily by optimism and certificates whose expiration dates invite reflection. Tickets enter a triage process best described as ceremonial — acknowledged warmly, processed philosophically, resolved at the discretion of the universe. Infrastructure decisions suggest a confident autodidactic energy that formal training might have tempered. Your recommendations will be received, appreciated verbally, and composted with dignity. The company charges a premium for its products and charges again for the remainder of them, which is either visionary pricing strategy or a personality trait depending on your tolerance. The gaming chairs are ambitious. The retention numbers are instructive

Cons

• Your labor props up a machine that monetizes joy incrementally until joy is gone • Every unresolved ticket is a monument to institutional indifference • Heidegger called it thrownness — you were thrown here specifically • The infrastructure will outlive your dignity but not your burnout • Mark Fisher already described this place in Capitalist Realism and did not recommend it • You will achieve nothing that compounds • The servers go down. You stay down longer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
