- Randomly laying off talented employees (I am still working but so many of my
talented colleagues were let go with a two minutes long explanation). Even the
Dev managers did not know that their group members were laid off by the higher
up. First set of lay offs went on Product people and without explanation and the second set of lay offs went on developers and no prior notice.
- Poor severance. One week salary for the every six months of work. People who got
laid off before two years, lost the employer contribution of 401k.
- When the Higher ups were asked why this big lay offs, they said it was due to the path those devs were taking. All on a sudden all the devs were required a full-stack knowledge to succeed in the company. But their managers were giving them thumbs up on their path on the Role Success Docs. So, not only people who got laid off but also their managers had zero idea about the lay offs.
- Random deadlines without any specific product direction which leads to
burnout on employees.
- cliche but worth mentioning that the salary is below market standard.
- You are required to have full-stack knowledge of Backend even if you are an iOS dev and hired for specific role.
