Svantaggi
In my one year there, the theme that repeatedly showed up is that in such a high growth phase, there is no process in place to think about you as an employee. They couldn't care less about you. Executives repeatedly speak about the culture of the company: uplift others, make it happen, but the reality is a) uplift others in practice is more like uplift yourself, bc whoever does the best job of marketing themselves is probably staying and b) Make it happen doesn't at all play out in practice, bc the politics and bureaucracy make it close to impossible to get anything done. And the real kicker was we had trainings on workplace harassment, but when I had a hostile workplace where I was bullied for 8 months by my manager, HR did shockingly little to protect me, and said "work on the things they've asked you to" And to add to that, our entire team was laid off 1 month before my vesting mark, pre-Ipo, with no notice. Being an international on an H1-B, that leaves me with <30 days to find a job (30 more days of paperwork), or I will be forced to leave after 20 years of being here. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy.
