Pros

The people and their attitude to laugh through it all

Cons

- Creating an automated method of marketing with little understanding of how marketing works on the ground - Forcing employees to take on new responsibilities with little support or clarity on 'how' - Expected to take on an annual 20% reduction in budget with a 20% increase on goals - Everything that is currently happening in marketing feels like the opposite of being 'set up for success' for individuals outside the senior leadership team.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
