Pros
The mission of the company is meaningful, and many of the individual team members are passionate about the work they do.
Cons
Leadership structure and decision-making often feel inconsistent and poorly communicated. There were periods where the company announced layoffs while simultaneously promoting individuals into higher-level titles or creating new leadership roles with no real explanation as to why.
The organizational direction frequently changed, and processes would be implemented and then quickly replaced or abandoned. In my case, I was asked to fully document procedures and policies for my role, only to be laid off the same day those materials were completed due to what was described as “restructuring.” Shortly afterward, the responsibilities appeared to be redistributed into newly created senior-level roles.
There can also be a strong internal culture where alignment with leadership perspectives is expected. Employees who do not fully embrace that culture may feel marginalized.
Overall, the lack of stability and clear organizational planning made it difficult to feel secure or confident in the long-term direction of the company.
