Pros
-smart, talented ICs -product-market fit with an offering that helps users who understand what they're paying for -success in a crowded field -quarterly hackathons
Cons
-the company and product is largely run by a small circle of "known entities" that are difficult to influence from the outside, despite the exercise of "perspectives." This group has not scaled with the business. Good: they seek to emulate the qualities of other successful personalities in tech. Bad: they often emulate the most distasteful qualities of other successful personalities in tech. -Demotions and terminations without performance mgmt, possibly based on "No Rules Rules," minus the most important tenets of the Netflix model. Questionable internal dialogues around employees who've been let go. -not much strategic clarity from leadership. cofounders do not give the impression of being on the same page -opaque performance frameworks
