There were a number of individuals who were motivated and enjoyable to work with. "Unlimited PTO" That's about it.
Svantaggi
Leadership and management’s approach toward their employees centered on three principles: gaslight, gatekeep, and guilt-trip. Positive outcomes were rarely celebrated unless there was direct involvement from the leadership team. Blame would be shifted onto others when leadership's decisions would backfire. The turnover rate was legitimately extreme: people left quickly or were fired suddenly. Backfilling was rare, and burnout spread from the increasing levels of stress and overwork. People across all departments would be worked to the bone and discarded at random, quite often. Communication was either completely nonexistent or blatantly disrespectful when provided. Non-communication meant interference occurred constantly between departments. Internal procedures were siloed in ivory towers, so attempts to gain insight or make improvements on anything would be met with disdain and passive-aggressive behavior from certain individuals. Arrogance and tribalism were rewarded over the ability to hit goals. Asking for feedback was met with silence. Collaboration was not welcome, either. Commitments were promised that sales knew were unrealistic, and there was intense competition between product teams trying to get their features in first. This was tolerated despite frequent delays. Working together felt like a shunned idea instead of being a common goal. The only thing that leadership found worthy of value was a customer they didn’t have. Every single thing depended on the CEO's vision of obtaining one-hundred percent market share, which meant that in-flight commitments could be deprioritized or thrown out in his pursuit of someone newer. It was chaotic to keep up with his mood swings. Health coverage and benefits were incredibly lacking and inferior.
