Pros
-The CEO is purpose-driven, charismatic, and genuinely wants everyone to prioritize users and customers. The compelling vision is effectively communicated by senior leadership. -Employee benefits are modern, relevant, and competitive. I appreciated the ERGs which were particularly active and present. -I had the opportunity to work alongside a talented team of product, engineering and visual effects experts who were dedicated and highly skilled. -The product vision for Flow MVP was clear, well-defined, and easily translated into actionable requirements, roadmap and backlog for the engineering teams.
Cons
-It was challenging to provide honest assessments of program progress due to an environment where raising concerns was discouraged. Deadlines and performance benchmark were continually missed. -The engineering culture was characterized by public challenges and intense scrutiny during demos. It fuelled an intimidating work atmosphere for engineers. -Middle management was somewhat disorganized, marked by finger-pointing. It hindered collaboration, risk management and execution agility.
