Pros
- Product is best in class - easy to use, reliable - People are generally nice
Cons
- Inexperienced leaders - favor people who agree with them, bad behaviour is unadressed while strong performers are expected to pick up the slack - Reactive environment - no strategy, planning or prioritization, last minute decisions, constant chaos - Speed over quality - pushed to deliver quickly instead of correctly - Poor work/life balance - meetings scheduled all hours of the day, chat heavy culture - responses expected immediately, constant fire drills - Below market compensation - salaries and benefits not competitive, increases frozen, benefits and company bonus slashed - Return to office - forced to go into office even though Zoom’s product is based on connecting remotely, only two weeks notice to comply, no consideration for financial or personal burden - Struggling culture - no budget for team building, a lot of surveying but no action taken on feedback
