Pros

The product is genuinely strong and solves a real problem in the audit and advisory space. The people are sharp, and there's no shortage of talent or technical capability in the building. Remote flexibility is a real benefit and is handled well. For anyone energized by early-stage product and a fast-moving market, there's interesting work to be found here.

Cons

The core issue is leadership and direction. Strategy and priorities shift frequently enough that it's difficult to build sustained momentum, and decisions don't always reach the people executing them with enough clarity or context. I also observed dynamics that, in my experience, did not treat all employees equitably, which affected how work and influence were distributed. The combination of a strong product and uneven leadership creates a gap that falls on individual contributors to absorb.
