Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We're certainly working hard to develop our values-based culture, and part of that is embracing the diversity and power of a remote-friendly approach to hiring. We're continuously developing our processes to get remote employees up to speed more quickly -- we think our onboarding is pretty good but please share any ideas you have on how we can make it better and more impactful! And in a company growing as quickly as DO I can promise you that team formation and team cohesion will always be an ever-changing process. We'll continue to keep the value of a healthy environment top of mind - please keep us honest on that and continue to share what's working for you and where we can do better!

Vantaggi

- lots of ownership - decent middle management - great teammates - learning a lot - older employees do tend to have competitive RSU grants and salaries

Svantaggi

- tons of legacy systems (10+ years version of Ruby on Rails... 10+ years since some products or services were updated, 0 associated automation to help) - last 2y of leadership has brought on tons of reorgs & changes. Example - recommended PTO days quietly went down, got rid of lots of free snacks, anniversary gifts went down $100s of dollars, plenty of silent layoffs - Senior leadership is focused on 1 thing - getting the stock price up. Has no interest in supporting some of our legacy systems that can prop up new products. - new hires are not fitting into our culture. Inflated titles. Empire building. Awarded for submitting buggy AI Slop code. Encourage working on the weekends. Starting to get toxic.
