Good Pay, Toxic Culture
Good Pay, Toxic Culture
Compensation, on-site meals, very smart people.
No tech roadmap, cutthroat culture, constant massive turnover, elitist.
Compensation is great, but that does not make people love work.
Technology is aged and hugely fragmented because of turnover and an utter lack of a cohesive platform.
With the culture of 'I need this done now or you’ll get fired,' nothing with future meaning ever gets done.
Stop exclusively hiring top 10 university pedigree. Have a mix. There is hunger and dedication in others who may not have had that opportunity.
All of that and 100 other things makes this a soul-crushing place to work.
