Remote work, interesting challenges, important mission, stable product, easy to get away without doing much work, good analytics
Cons
Whimsical CEO who cries at company all hands, says there are no layoffs/strong business, then announces restructuring that pushes many people out of roles. Same CEO pushes on a strategy for 1.5 years that cannibalizes core business, doesn’t recognize it till much later, then pulls back strategy when damage is done. Stock prices plummeted, weak PM and engineering teams

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.
Cons
Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
