Business Outlook

Pros

My team moved quick and worked with modern tech. High-impact within the company. Flexible culture (no strict agile bs) that rewarded self-starters

Cons

Questionable product vision as time went on. Strict RTO even in cases when it doesn't make any sense (go to office to be on zoom all day).
