Svantaggi
This is a wannabe startup. Following closely the footsteps of Palantir. They even hired 3 ex-director-level, incompetent bosses from Palantir. Now everything the company talks about is how to become a Palantir. The moral of the story is, why would you work for a fake Palantir-like org when you can apply and join Palantir? The leadership is somehow bringing in all the Palantir secret sauces and trying to fit them inside the org. Engineering & Product had the highest turnover (go to linked in and search for engineers & PM who left Gecko in 2021). Engineering bosses are highly political with zero transparency. HR seemed to have good intentions but was always intimidated by the young leadership (seriously in their late 20s). Operations have no life. Thanksgiving? Christmas? Even those are a myth in the ops team. Oh did I mention marketing? They were management's favorite pet. But had a clean swipe in late 2021.
