Pros

1. Tech team leadership: New CTO and Sr. Director have been great to work for 2. Tech team culture: We get along well and remain generally siloed from the rest of the teams which is a positive… aside from Product

Cons

1. Incompetent Product Team: As some of the more recent reviews highlight, Product leadership changed over the past year and as a consequence of that change, we have received constantly changing feedback of what to build that have not been well received by clients and have been able to deliver very little due to Product leadership lacking coherent processes and decision making. Several of the Product leadership are also remote and are so far removed from the day-to-day that they barely have a handle on the overall strategy and product needs of the firm. I have now seen several Product team members leave from poor management and am stuck building features pushed down by the remaining product team leads that will likely be scrapped in several months.

Pros

- some of middle managers are good but are unfortunately stuck constantly cleaning up the executive teams mess

Cons

- chief of staff more like glorified CEO brown noser - head of product has no idea what’s going on - ultimately the biggest problem here though is there are no consequences: incompetent work doesnt get challenged, competent work doesn’t get rewarded. A select group of favorites can do whatever they want. Even the president who made the most inept judgement calls and had poor management got away with a $20 million golden parachute. Nothing matters unless you are best friends with the CEO. Deliver exceptional work? You’ll get a big THANK YOU! But don’t except a bonus, promotion or salary bump. They really don’t care.
