Friendly coworkers, but lack of leadership direction

Pros

Fully remote optional with generally friendly coworkers

Cons

The new CEO, Deko, is MIA. I've seen him on camera maybe once since taking office, and there is zero direction other than "make more money and use AI more". This means the fate of your career essentially lies in the hands of your manager and everybody in between.
