Optics over meritocracy - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Contentful

Highly political environment where optics and managing-up consistently outweighed actual delivery. I watched several strong performers "leave" in a short window, the pattern was hard to miss. Leadership did not seem equipped to retain or develop top talent, and the product trajectory has reflected that. If you join, expect to navigate a lot of internal politics regardless of how well you execute.
