Pros
- Some of the smartest people I've ever worked with - Exciting product ideas - Some products/offerings are seeing strong demand. CRO/analytics business may be salvageable. - Comp is still obnoxiously high, even if a bunch of benefits did get cut. For the low amount of social value you contribute working at Flatiron, the money is honestly vastly more than deserved, and for some roles higher than at competitors.
Cons
- Increasingly bleak business outlook, multiple rounds of layoffs. It was good that they got rid of some directors / leadership who weren't doing much, but they also gutted teams and lost great talent. - Also bleeding talent and institutional knowledge because of attrition. - Despite layoffs, seemingly lower standards to get hired into some teams (that are growing but hiring only in Raleigh). - Constant reorgs over last 2 years made it really difficult to focus on work. Leadership didn't appreciate negative impacts; kept hiring people to reorg over and over again. - Increasing lack of trust in leadership. - On some teams, backstabbing and favoritism (but overall people are kind)
