Was a good place to work
- Good engineering culture
- Good product
Started overhiring like crazy and talent bar started to decrease, company didn't have to run way to do this
Align incentives better on hiring - no accountability for making bad hires, this ultimately sent a company in a spiral.
Poor hires with no culture of removing poor performers, ultimately poor performers are shuffled around instead of addressing the real problem, company doesn't cash flow enough to do this.
Leadership is too kind, hopefully they can make the hard decisions necessary in this environment. Culture is too lax for a company with a high burn rate.
