Vantaggi
- the team when there was one was a great smart group of individuals who worked hard - had an amazing manager who shielded us from much of the chaos - pay and benefits were a line industry benchmarks - decent work-life balance if you have a supportive manager
Svantaggi
- the CEO changes his mind every couple of weeks on the direction of the company and then everyone else scrambles to pivot. He also micromanages down to the specialist level which causes an unnecessary amount of stress and confusion. - none of the numbers presented make sense as it’s based on a “vision” vs the reality of where the company is at cashflow wise - a lot of turnover on all levels especially for leadership who is outspoken on their views - promotions were reserved for those in the inner circle. There were several departments without a single promotion in the 2 years I was there - I was part of the big group of people that got laid off in round #2 in November. It's not the layoff part I'm bitter about - whether I like it or not that’s the reality of working in tech - it's how it was done. It felt incredibly rushed and not at all thought out. After dedicating an entire 2 years to the company I was left with a un personalized mass email letting me know I was impacted. After 10 minutes our computers got shut off and we were left with a booking link to HR if I had questions. For how much your employees gave to the organization that felt incredibly cruel. Additionally, there seemed to be no thought behind it. Entire teams were simply eliminated overnight (exp. the marketing team went from 10+ to 1, IT/ security went from 4 down to 1). There was no sharing of login information, or handoff, nothing.
