Less than 6 months in - Recensione dipendente - Technical Program Manager presso Stellar Development Foundation

You are with a world class team and everyone gets on well.

Very traditional, less spontaneity than a traditional company and there are some bad players in senior positions that can create a bad environment.

When I joined a few years ago, the culture was collaborative, inspiring, and supportive. Many of the people on the team are smart, creative, and truly passionate about the mission. There are still pockets of talented individuals doing great work.

Unfortunately, the culture has shifted dramatically. Over the past three years, leadership has become increasingly driven by favoritism and nepotism, which undermines trust and fairness. Instead of open, transparent communication, feedback is often shared through gossip or passive-aggressive behavior, making it difficult to feel safe raising concerns. Authentic dialogue has been replaced with politics, and decisions sometimes feel more about relationships than merit. It’s disheartening to see what was once a healthy and collaborative environment become a place where people tiptoe around rather than speak honestly.
