Svantaggi
My first several years were the best of my career but the last half of 2023 got very tense. Certain executives are rude, insulting, and deeply unprofessional, and the plebs just have to deal with it. Management got on a money-saving kick in the middle of a crucial phase of development, in a way that will turn out to be more expensive in the long run. They would rather let workers burn out than hire enough people to develop the product. We have to beg for money to improve performance beyond the bare minimum needed to make the service go. Work-life balance is theoretically pretty good, but the people that get ahead happen to be workaholics. Several vital projects depend on one person, and I'd hate to see what happens when they burn out. Finally, the much-hyped bonus program they is supposed to start this year. Management has floated the idea of paying part of the bonus in "equity", i.e. stock in our company which isn't publicly traded. I personally would rather be paid in lottery tickets than in hypothetical future value.
