Shiny object syndrome. Build and ship things without accountability in measured impact. High turnover at leader levels. Departures in the past 1.5 years. EVP Engineering Entire second line eng management (2 VPs, multiple directors) CPO Entire 2nd line of product management and design (twice!). Chief Architect/co-founder The SaaS market is competitive and the expectations are high from Wall Street. This is not the type of company that can win.

Pros

Employees are encouraged to explore AI and automation tools, which creates strong opportunities to build future-relevant skills and experiment with process improvements beyond traditional role boundaries.

Cons

There can be a strong culture around visibility and perception here. In practice, employees often learn that highly visible work tends to carry more weight in performance and compensation discussions than work happening behind the scenes. It creates an environment where people naturally optimize for exposure rather than long-term process improvement. For prospective employees, especially those who prefer impact-driven work over visibility-driven work, It's worth thinking carefully about whether this environment aligns with your working style and career expectations.
