Pros
- Most coworkers are friendly, empathetic, and want to do the right thing. - Good work life balance because the pace is slow. - Some teams genuinely care about helping Taskers and clients.
Cons
- Engineering velocity is low because the system is old, brittle, and understaffed, yet expectations are set as if everything is modern and scalable. - Reorgs every quarter and shifting mandates create a sense of instability, and employees rarely get clear communication about what is happening or why. - High performers leave because they get tired of fighting for basic alignment instead of building valuable work. - The gap between what leadership says publicly and what actually happens internally is wide, which erodes trust fast. - Psychological safety varies wildly by team, which leaves people censoring themselves rather than speaking truth to power.
