I was a Data Scientist. Personally I found the autonomy immensely frustrating. Combined with the stack ranking performance review system, it was effectively a way of pushing the manager's job on to the employee and forcing them to hold themselves accountable for their own priorities. Makes sense in theory, but once you add huge organization churn + being remote, it was difficult to get a sense of what priorities were exactly, or would be next month. It made me feel insecure at all times that perhaps I was working on the wrong thing and would be punished for it.
