Pros

I really did enjoy my time there and had the great opportunity of working with probably one of the best Directors I've worked with in over 10 years. I feel like I was one of the lucky few, compared to other experiences I read on here, who got to work on an incredible project and lead it relatively unsupervised (i.e. minimal micromanaging), and be actively supported by the team & the Director.

Cons

On the flip-side, and as it says in the title, I have a also had the displeasure of experiencing some chronic and questionable decision-making & mismanagement first-hand in adjacent teams that I was tasked with supporting throughout my first 2 years. Team members would often point out inaccuracies and misalignment in strategy and offer solutions, but their leadership would still press on ahead, only to revert course 2-3 months later, usually after exec leadership calls, and berate the team for not meeting KPI goals. Usually, one would think, that at least after the second time lessons are learned and team-leadership takes accountability & feedback to improve upon a situation like this, but this continued on a quarterly basis. From what current and former team-members told me, a similar narrative started to emerge: After a couple of months they get tired and drained from even suggesting new strategies or improvements because they would get invited to 1-on-1s where they would be berated for voicing concerns or offering feedback in the team slack. And regarding compensation: Nothing to write home about. When you hear "Industry Standard" think average salary. Not bad per-se, but when you are working at one of Europe's and NA's rising start-ups, you'd imagine a slightly more competitive salary.
