Work-life balance decent, but poor career growth - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Kargo

Great work culture and events and good work life balance!

the pay isn't too competitive

- Free lunch / snacks / good kitchen - I guess good exposure to ad tech industry if that’s what you are looking for

•Leadership and HR do not care about employees at all •Frequent layoffs with limited transparency, they try to keep it on the down low but everyone finds out. Creates uncertainty and low morale. •Workplace culture is very political, with noticeable favoritism in most cases • Coworkers are very high school vibes, like if you don’t want to hang out outside of work or if you don’t suck up, you’re disliked • Senior managers don’t know what they are doing yet they keep being promoted or given senior titles because of favoritism • Onboarding and training is awful, they do not set up new employees for success • Not remote friendly - they’re forcing people to go in more and more with time even though most people would rather be hybrid • a lot of your success here will rely on clout and sucking up to execs and senior management, and if you don’t you simply won’t fit in or succeed • salary raises / promotions are impossible and when they happen it’s insulting how low it is
