Vantaggi
- Big, world-changing idea about how technology and people should interact
- Good benefits and perks (catered lunch etc)
Svantaggi
- Product fails in numerous ways with very high frequency and has been despite months trying to stabilize.
- CEO gives lip service to encouraging debate/dissent but actually punishes, undermines, or removes those who speak truth.
- Numerous voluntary and involuntary departures in the last few weeks. CEO believes 50% turnover is normal and a positive indicator. Many more are looking.
- Undisciplined, unaccountable engineering team. Product hasn't worked reliably in months, occasionally getting worse, with customers experiencing daily failures - but frequently no explanations are given, sometimes because engineering doesn't know what's wrong.
- Leadership is visible to give platitude-filled speeches but unreachable (hiding?) when the product is failing. There is a disconnect between how leadership seems to perceive the state of affairs and how bad things are at ground level.
- Almost no one, internally or externally, believes in any roadmap commitments or hopes of improvement given the long history of false statements and unmet timelines.
