Pros
The coffee was decent and I learned a lot about bees in the first few weeks.
Cons
- I spent months in meetings where everyone acknowledged our inventory was broken—like, everyone knew—but there was this wall of not saying it out loud where it mattered. - I raised specific problems about communication failures between teams, I brought these up multiple times, and every single response was some version of "we're a great team" instead of actually addressing what I'd written. - Any legitimate concern I flagged immediately made me the problem, like the only acceptable stance was to smile and pretend systems that weren't working were actually fine. - Same issues got announced as "solved" in all-hands meetings month after month, like we were all supposed to forget that the actual work never happened, but mentioning that would wreck the vibe. - I could see clearly how what people in charge were saying and what was actually true were two completely different things, and I learned fast that naming that gap was a career move not to make.
