Pros

Pay is decent There are some really nice people Adequate tools Pre-multiple layoffs, we had a really good company culture. Now it's mostly "get the work done". Product team is tired and weary. There are(were) amazing product owners and product managers guiding the way and trying to protect the culture.

Cons

Micromanagement on every level top-down. No one feels like they can make their own decision and be confident about it. Eng leadership and actual leadership have different viewpoints, and the product team is in the middle negotiating and taking the blame. Eng leadership experience is outdated as they have been at ChowNow for so long.

Pros

Coworkers are good people and teams try their best despite the chaos. Remote work.

Cons

Poor executive leadership, constantly changing priorities and restructuring, lack of direction, low morale, reactive decision making, and executives who are out of touch with what the business actually needs.
