Pros
Excellent business model and outlook. C-Level is excellent.
Cons
Weak middle management. Day-to-day work at a company of this size should not feel as chaotic or operationally disorganized as it does. Expectations for success are often unclear, making it difficult to know what good performance actually looks like. The organization is accumulating more red tape and process overhead while maintaining an extremely high pace of work. Despite that intensity, it does not feel like my team produced much of value this year. It has become the worst of both worlds: large-company bureaucracy without large-company leverage, and startup-level urgency without startup-level output. Top-of-funnel hiring issues. Some hiring managers and recruiters seem to be lowering the bar.
