Avoid at all costs! Horrible, toxic culture where employees are abused - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Scorable

In my experience: • Excellent learning environment, especially for entry-level positions • An emphasis on research, documentation, understanding, and knowledge sharing • Supportive and respectful team leads • Open, inclusive, and proactive discussions about company culture and processes • Genuinely fun team, even in stressful situations • Respect of boundaries and work-like balance • Effective collaboration between product and data science teams • The product vision and company objectives take into consideration the entire team’s contributions • Generous learning budget after probation period • Frequent and fun team gatherings (e.g. Wednesday breakfasts, Friday evening hangouts, team events) • Flexibility with working hours and a reasonable degree of remote work • Conflicts are taken seriously and managed respectfully, with people given the benefit of the doubt • Continuous giving & seeking of feedback, and of opportunities for change and improvement • Genuine and lengthy efforts made to give everyone as many chances as possible, and to maintain a respectful relationship and process

In my experience: • Sometimes there is a blurred division of responsibility and ownership when it comes to certain technical components, leading to problems that could easily be resolved with better communication between teams and a shared understanding of processes — but this is seeing improvement as we continuously and proactively improve said processes • Due to different levels of understanding of data science topics, there is sometimes a lack of consensus across teams regarding the feasibility and merit of different features and approaches. This is being addressed with ongoing discussions with the product team, as well as company-wide knowledge sharing sessions

Colourful slides in presentations and weekly breakfast.

Women are treated poorly, people are silenced and threatened daily with being fired. Middle managers scream at people, refuse to look at their work, and humiliate them in front of others. Employees try to speak up, but they are not given a fair chance to express their views. And, when asked, executives cannot justify why they have let people go, because they are in cahoots with the abusers. Additionally, the technology they claim they have been able to develop is non-existent. You might wanna look elsewhere for an opportunity to show off your skills, as what makes you thrive in this company is turning a blind eye to the abuse employees are subjected to on a regular basis.
