Not a Great Place to Work

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

AZ's CEO has a great vision and the products the company puts out are fantastic.

Cons

However, that vision has been marred and contorted by the current leadership who heavily push burnout culture and toxic behavior such as weaponized ambiguity and the worst parts of the radical candor methodology.
