      Pros

      - Really cool product. I will be a customer even after I leave the company - Cool perks - People are helpful and work hard

      Cons

      - Poor executive leadership, mostly at C-level. Many leaders don't seek feedback or check in with employees are doing - Trying to do too much at once. Rather than focus wholeheartedly on a few things, we try to do too many things at once and half bake them. Everything is always urgent and priorities are constantly changing. - Really unrealistic expectations at times regarding work life balance. Some orgs routinely work 70+ hour weeks and weekends/holidays. Most people are burnt out. - Being a visionary is important to continue the growth of the company, but execution is just as important at this point in the businesses lifecycle. It feels like that sometimes gets lost amongst leadership.

      Thank you for the feedback. We recognize that our environment is very fast-paced and shifting priorities can be frustrating at times; and, this was a big driver in creating and sharing our 2022 KPIs. We are hopeful that clearly articulating and sharing these with the entire team, will allow everyone to truly focus and execute. As for work-life balance, we certainly do not expect anyone to work 70+ hours a week, and we’re concerned if this is a routine practice for you (or anyone else). If you feel comfortable doing so, we would encourage you to come to HR so we can work with you and your manager to realign expectations.

      Pros

      The CEO appears to have a clear and compelling long term vision. The product has strong brand loyalty and a passionate user base.

      Cons

      Internal politics and misaligned priorities can slow progress and decision making. Some decisions do not appear to be grounded purely in what is best for the user or product. Development cycles can feel long, sometimes taking 2 to 3 years for meaningful product evolution. Several larger departments appear to lack a well balanced mix of experienced, merit driven, and deeply knowledgeable contributors, which can lead to disconnects between teams and ultimately show up in the product. Egos and internal agendas at times overshadow collaboration and product focused thinking.
