The TOXIC Stack Ranking Culture permeates every level of the business
The TOXIC Stack Ranking Culture permeates every level of the business
- Decent base salary, especially for early career (but no RSU).
- Very team dependent, but some teams are very high-functioning and have good modern tech.
Focus on stack ranking has turned this company into a PIP factory.
The company forces a distribution of 10-15% of people being put into the "below expectations" bucket every 6 months, and these people get put into a PIP. It makes you resent your high-performing peers because their success means you are 1 step closer to being put in the below expectations bucket.
They are trying to be like Amazon with half the pay.
I read the same negative reviews before I joined and chose to ignore them, thinking that only disgruntled people would be writing them, but they turned out to be 100% accurate. Do yourself a favor and avoid C1.
