-If you’re looking to progress in your career, don’t plan on staying more than 1-2 years. -4 day workweek that they brag about is dependent on team and whether you can get everything done in 4 days, otherwise you’re expected to work that 5th day. -Financial outlook is poor. They waited too long to ship the features customers were asking for 5+ years ago, resulting in loss of market share and a consistently downward trending ARR (posting a loss of 4.39m in ARR since January 2020) more info available on their transparent dashboard. -Employees fired citing “performance issues” without proper PIP being implemented. Particularly prevalent amongst individuals from under represented groups. -So many claims to caring about DEI, but only if it allows everyone to maintain their level of toxic positivity. -Joel is out of touch and lacks the experience to actually progress the company in a meaningful way or keep this ship from sinking. He either changes his mind, or just doesn’t make a decision at all, preventing teams from having clear direction. -Leadership (with exception of Product) are only in their roles because they’ve been with the company from the earliest days - not because they have prior experience to qualify them for their titles or experience leading and growing departments, basically the blind leading the blind. -Beware of asking questions, pushing back on ideas, or asking for accountability.
