Culture of negativity - Recensione dipendente - Business Development presso FiscalNote

During an all-hands meeting, a C-suite executive made both an assault joke and a suicide joke (two different jokes). Nothing happened even after it was brought to the attention of HR. Uncompetitive salary. Uncompetitive 401k match. Lousy hiring/negotiating process. But the bigger issues are 1, that this is not a tech company. It's a BD department that sells SaaS, and that distinction informs how all departments function. Or don't. 2, the company is falling into the tech grift trope. Their singular focus is to go public, presumably offloading all their debt onto the public so that executives and investors can cash out. This means there is a focus on acquisition to boost revenue rather than good tech, sales and retention. FiscalNote started with a good idea and some impressive code and now they are a bloated company that owns competing platforms that are not interoperable.
