Pros

The recently laid-off recruiters did a great job finding talent.

Cons

A lack of vision from the top creates a confusing work environment where expectations and project goals change from week to week. The content design management is particularly inept, and they won't think twice about blaming subordinates for their own bad management and lack of clarity. It wasn't always like this. It's been dramatically worse since Q2 of this year. The talent is there, but managed so poorly. Everyone seems to be unhappy, but the managers pretend everything's wonderful and love to pat themselves on the back. "YAY! I love my team! Now you're on a PIP."

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
