Autonomy at Cash App. Some really stellar people - some of the most empathetic staff/principal engs I've ever met. Better gender parity in engineering than anywhere I've ever been. Passionate, motivated people who show up every day and insist on better.

Accountability at Cash App.

Some real dirtbags too.

Growing pains, ouch. Please no more M&As until we get it together. Our culture is broken.

Figure out how to resolve interpersonal conflicts fairly and establish a healthy team culture. Some managers have figured this out, so follow their lead.

Line-level and senior managers can help drive cultural change by pushing from the bottom up. If you're taking these problems seriously, the org needs you to take action to overcome them.
