Talented people, shame about everything else
Pros
The team is genuinely great — supportive, sharp, and the kind of colleagues you'd follow somewhere better. Work-life balance is real, learning opportunities exist, and nobody's burning you out. A small miracle, considering the circumstances.
Cons
The company is doing that thing where it slowly falls apart while leadership holds all-hands meetings to explain why everything is fine. Runway is evaporating, layoffs keep happening in waves, and management's response is a rotating series of bold strategic pivots that somehow always point in a different direction. The culture that once made this place interesting is now mostly a memory people mention when reminiscing. It's a bit like watching a talented band play their hearts out on a sinking ship. The music is lovely. The ship, however, is sinking.
