Pros

- Talented individual contributors. - Still some good people at the company that are working hard to solve the internal issues, but they need help.

Cons

The company suffers from a rigid, top-down hierarchy where decisions are made in silos without input from the people executing the work. There is a noticeable lack of career progression and a complete absence of technical/engineering representation at the executive level (no CTO). Leadership often lacks the necessary context to make informed decisions, leading to a "loudest voice wins" culture. Internal friction between cultures and people creates a lack of trust and prevents meaningful collaboration.
