Pros

- Customers genuinely value the product - Clear potential path to a successful exit

Cons

- Leadership heavily leans into a “wartime” operating style. While it may be effective in early stages, it is overused and beginning to create downstream issues. - Clear organizational signals (consistent negative employee feedback, rising attrition) are not being adequately acknowledged or addressed - Tendency to default to blame rather than root-cause issues and lean into cross-functional collaboration - Constantly shifting role expectations create confusion internally and inconsistency in the customer experience.

Pros

The product is genuinely strong and solves a real problem in the audit and advisory space. The people are sharp, and there's no shortage of talent or technical capability in the building. Remote flexibility is a real benefit and is handled well. For anyone energized by early-stage product and a fast-moving market, there's interesting work to be found here.

Cons

The core issue is leadership and direction. Strategy and priorities shift frequently enough that it's difficult to build sustained momentum, and decisions don't always reach the people executing them with enough clarity or context. I also observed dynamics that, in my experience, did not treat all employees equitably, which affected how work and influence were distributed. The combination of a strong product and uneven leadership creates a gap that falls on individual contributors to absorb.
