Pros

If you're into watching a slow-motion car crash of a once-promising tech company, this place is a front-row seat. Fantastic opportunity to learn how not to run a business — like a live MBA case study in implosion. Great for those who enjoy corporate theatre and performative values.

Cons

Ethics? Never heard of them. If you're into telling fairy tales to customers during the sales cycle, you'll fit right in. Diversity and inclusion… as long as you look, think, and act exactly like everyone else. Otherwise? You’re out. Real enterprise planning experts are actively shown the door. Why have people who know what they're doing when you can fill the room with yes-men who confuse Excel with innovation? Leadership is laser-focused on short-term vanity metrics and exit fantasies. Long-term strategy? Please — that sounds hard. The product is no longer the hero — but who needs technical excellence when you’ve got aggressive sales targets and smoke machines? Culture is toxic, morale is low, and trust is nonexistent. But hey, there’s always LinkedIn.

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
