Vantaggi
Excellent personal freedom. Flexible hours. Fully remote. Decent benefits. Very supportive line management. Unlimited things that need improvement - always projects to get stuck into. A handful of exceptionally talented and intelligent colleagues. It's a SaaS cybersecurity firm which is always good in terms of exposure and career trajectory.
Svantaggi
Teammates have all been laid off and I'm now expected to shoulder the load of an entire team essentially by myself. Constant downsizing and offshoring. Borderline insulting pay and refusal to properly compensate for value brought to the business. Promises that never materialize. Directionless and clueless upper management, who are delusional about our market position. This company has a handful of great products but is essentially irrelevant in the industry and commands zero respect from competitors or peers. The business is completely unable to manage customer relationships and is averse to doing anything to properly remedy it. Anything personally achieved is soon meaningless as top-level vision, priorities, teams, and tooling change again and again and again.
