- Everyone is very overworked
- The culture fell from great to terrible throughout 2023
- culture got worse early last year and *just kept going downhill*
- Pay is below (well-below?) market average
- There's no freedom. Even if someone has a great idea, there's no time to do it.
- Absolutely no sense of community. Zero! I never see my teammates unless one of us personally organizes and pays for it.
- As a result everyone works alone. There's no "let's figure this out together"
- The founders are great - they know this industry - but their board/advisors may not be giving them good advice about how to run a business.
- Fundamentally there's a lack of trust. Decisions aren't delegated down, they're centralized at the top. This doesn't scale and it's not enjoyable.
