Advancement Based on Politics, Not Performance - Recensione dipendente - Data Engineer presso Fivetran

truly a great culture when I joined, and honestly a great product picking up speed.

culture was lost a little bit over time, and company direction is different (low cost competing with enterprise motion) but still doable as a sales person.

- Most of the engineers I worked with were supportive and show cased 1T1D - Fair base pay when compared with other similar companies. - Work/Life balance was not bad.

- Some leaders lack the strategic vision needed to effectively manage their teams, and there is a noticeable tendency toward micromanagement rather than empowering employees to do their best work. Office politics, unfortunately, plays a larger role than merit in some parts of the organization. - Leadership roles appear to carry more job security compared to individual contributors, regardless of performance outcomes. During cost-cutting exercises, smaller organizations such as QE tend to bear a disproportionate impact, with positions being eliminated seemingly independent of individual performance records while under performers in other areas are retained. - For anyone considering joining Fivetran, it would be worth thoroughly researching the specific team before accepting an offer and keep it as a last option. Groups such as Platform and QE has notable leadership challenges that have impacted the overall work environment and employee experience.
