Pros

The company is home to some of the smartest, most hardworking colleagues, with many high performers contributing to its success. The employee discount is a great perk, and the business continues to show strong growth potential.

Cons

The leadership team sets extremely high expectations but often lacks clear direction, or frequently shifts priorities. There is significant ambiguity regarding roles and responsibilities across teams, leading to confusion. The workplace is highly political, more so than any environment I've previously encountered. There seems to be a lack of trust in employees, with leadership opting to invest heavily in external consultants rather than hiring additional individual contributors. The company experiences high turnover, and there is a persistent sense of job insecurity, even for teams that are performing well. Work-life balance is a challenge, with expectations to work long hours, including weekends, to meet demands. Senior leadership tends to micromanage, which can hinder autonomy and efficiency.
