Pros

Sometimes other team members are amazing. You can find lots of collaboration at the individual contributor level. This is a company with relatively poor engineering practices, so if you know anything close to industry-standard, you can have an outsized impact.

Cons

No planning from the top, and literally drop top-level OKRs mid-year without comment. This makes it hardbtonset your own goals to align. A disregard for employee work/life balance and mental health. They focus on big marketing splashes rather than solid design principles, so you have frequent top-down, time-crunch deadlines with quality dropping.
