There are talented people here, and you'll learn what organizational dysfunction looks like up close — which, in fairness, is a skill you'll carry to your next job. That's about where the upside ends.

The whiplash is the defining feature of this place. Layoffs one year, an aggressive hiring push a few months later, then more layoffs — a cycle that burns through people and goodwill and signals that no one at the top has a plan they can hold to for more than a quarter. There is no north star. Priorities shift constantly, so work you pour yourself into gets abandoned or reversed before it ships, and you quickly learn not to get invested. Leadership compounds all of it. The CEO micromanages at a level that's hard to overstate — down to dictating how a single Slack channel should be used — while the big strategic questions go unanswered. It's the worst of both worlds: no air cover on direction, no autonomy on execution. If you have real talent and you want it put to good use, this is one of the most demoralizing places you could land. You'll spend more energy navigating chaos than doing the work you were hired to do.
