Cons

Not good WLB and company culture sucks. Culture is "high performance" and driven from the top (by Vlad). This has led to the ‘middle’ perf rating being high impact after they moved from five impact levels to three. There is always too much work to do and everything is urgent. EMs say they will give you time to work down tech debt and make community contributions, but the reality is you only have time to do these things if you slack on feature work, work longer hours, or work on the weekend. It’s not shocking that GameStop happened. So many PMs making roadmaps and defining deadlines when the actual feature has not been scoped. Designs for frontend are WIP for almost the entire lifecycle when building the product, which leads to last second crunch (for engineers and design only of course). The company struggles with long term vision. Repeatedly pausing and resuming products is extremely common. The justification usually is that something higher priority needs to be immediately done. Never mind the fact that the higher priority items were usually known about, often years prior.
