Pros
- Consistent paycheck and OK benefits
Kontras
- Collaboration and innovation are completely stifled by incompetent and out-of-touch leadership - CEO is woefully inept and desperately tries to appear "non-corporate" while reinforcing all of the standard corporate tropes -- unnecessary meetings, meddling & vindictive management, top-down decision making, zero accountability, etc. - No DEI programs or initiatives, and any mention of diversity is met with hostility ("we value diversity of thought" dog-whistle) - All decisions are 100% profit-driven, even at the expense of safety - Leadership constantly uses employees as scapegoats for their problems, refusing to take accountability - Out-of-date (by 10+ years) tech stack and tooling with no real push to modernize
