The culture is toxic and leadership punishes honesty. While the company promotes values like "Radical Candor" in reality they're used to tame and blame employees rather than encourage genuine feedback. Leadership is highly autocratic and despotic, focused on control rather than trust, with decisions that often feel arbitrary and opaque. Every decision is last, until the CEO decides otherwise. He is surrounded by people who say yes to everything and lie to protect their own position, while their direct reports take the fall when things go wrong. On top of that, there's the clique of "chosen ones" - usually friends of the founders that are always praised and promoted. Currently there’s a lot of AI hype, but little real value. When delivery falls short, engineers get blamed and fired. Some directors are strong engineers but poor leaders, so teams struggle, and agile meetings often turn into blame sessions. Very few people actually leave by choice and most are fired quickly and often without much explanation. The company has a reputation in the local industry for a hire-and-fire mentality and poor benefits like the lack of work-from-home policy and no real flexibility. As for the glowing reviews you might come across here they feel heavily scripted and suspiciously aligned with PR, likely written by the marketing team to cover up what’s really happening inside.
