Vantaggi
The domain is interesting and the product has genuine potential. The problem is that potential is being squandered.
Svantaggi
Engineering and product are led by people with domain expertise but no real understanding of how to build a successful SaaS product. The voices of people who have actually done it before, who've shipped and scaled, are consistently ignored. That's already showing.
The culture is extractive: high pressure, little reciprocity, and no meaningful consideration for wellbeing. Attrition is constant background noise. People disappear regularly and without explanation. It's not unusual to see another announcement that someone didn't make it through probation - which, after a while, tells you something about either hiring or management, or both.
The surface is collegial and leadership presents well. Underneath there's a layer of politics that operates quietly but has real consequences for anyone who steps into it. It will wear you down before you realise what's happening.
Career growth is effectively non-existent. There's no real path upward and little evidence that developing people is a priority.
Most people you'll work with day-to-day are genuinely decent. The problem is that many of the good ones have already left or are openly talking about doing so. That's what this environment does to people over time.
If you're a strong, experienced candidate - think hard before joining. You're more likely to have your judgment dismissed by inexperienced leadership than put to use.
