Pros
- Smart, interesting, generally compassionate colleagues who balance out some of the instability and low morale. It's baffling how somewhere with so many amazing people can ultimately be such a nonconstructive place. - Challenging, interesting, unique model and work (during good times.) There would be such a great opportunity here if it were a better environment that cared about its people and their growth.
Kontras
- Frequent "strategy" resets that are a symptom of lack of long term thinking, and lack of commitment or focus. Besides being destabilizing, it also means frequent firing and laying folks off. - Top leadership do not care at all about their people, including other leaders. They are willing to burn bridges and their reputation as is shown time and again. - HR/People doesn't report to CEO, which shows company's values. HR ultimately reports into team that claims to focus on culture and the people side of the org, but unfortunately does not at all reflect company's stated values around openness, curiosity, etc. Instead, shuts people down, does not foster open dialogue, is disconnected, and doesn't listen to colleagues. - Certain people should not be managing people -- forget fostering growth, they don't even communicate clearly and constructively causing frustrations and less productivity
