poor leadership and growth issues

Pros

You get to work with really talented people

Cons

Hemorrhaging clients. Notoriously over promising workflows that don’t exist. no room for growth. No raises in 3 years but somehow someone gets a surprise promotion announcement on an all hands. Some ECDs here have terrible egos. Executive leadership is essentially nonexistent. There’s shifts happening in the company, you feel them , you see them, but no one communicates what’s going on. Culture is nonexistent, or even worse, the culture is over worked and under paid. There’s nooo diversity in leadership
