Hard to know what expectations are, little job security

- The company moves fast on policy, process, and projects- disruption is a constant, and there will be many periods of frustration throughout your time here where your time is squandered due to a hasty change or last minute decision - It's all remote, and on many teams opportunities to see one another are limited to once a year at the company wide event. I've found that makes it difficult for teams to build cohesion and blow off steam when stressful events happen like a performance related exit. There is the ability to schedule an offsite, but only to accomplish a specific work purpose, and 'people build connections and rapport better in person' is not one of those reasons. - Aggressive performance management makes it difficult to keep the team motivated, I've experienced a strong sense of fear amongst my colleagues, especially in the last few months. - Like many tech companies these days, they're hastily rolling back diversity measures, and indirectly encouraging bias by adding vague hiring criteria that could only be answered using bias, e.g. "Even if someone checks off the boxes, would you fight for them to be on your team?"
