Pros

Kontras
The organization structure keeps shifting from PODs to GMs and back, causing instability. AOP goals constantly change direction—from X to Y to Z—making it difficult to maintain focus. Sales teams lack the freedom to sell effectively, with no control over pricing, while sales support is handled by inexperienced, homegrown talent. There’s a clear gap in understanding the product’s shortcomings, and no meaningful efforts are being made to address or improve them. Disproportionate compensation packages are given to technology teams and those close to the founder, while others are forced to resort to extreme measures, like resignation threats, to negotiate better terms. Over the past 10 months, the company has seen two major layoffs, the departure of a cofounder, and the exit of several key executives. BEWARE: decisions about talent often swing wildly—they may consider firing someone one day and suddenly label them as indispensable the next.
