Unique culture works, but comes at a high price to employees
Unique culture works, but comes at a high price to employees
Working with great people on hard problems is great.
Some of the employee perks, like the company shuttle, are great.
Performance management culture is needlessly brutal. Managing out people to meet quotas became a thing.
As a culture, there's no credit for managing up people and ensuring they're performing. Somebody needs to be thrown under the bus every year.
