Talented Team, Chaotic Leadership
Talented Team, Chaotic Leadership
- Good things going for the company technologically.
- Young research vibe.
- Some very talented colleagues.
The structure of the company is flat and chaotic. Teams are physically sick and burning out. Leadership seems to know this and is not doing anything about it.
There's no pay transparency for your own position, let alone others.
There's talk about culture, but in reality, lower-level employees are holding it up with toothpicks.
The manipulation by leadership and the People/HR team is mind-blowing.
There are no boundaries. Leadership seems to rely on this to keep things unhealthily competitive. Poor behavior goes unchecked.
You can't use the "we're a start-up" excuse anymore to get people to do 10 different jobs at once without the right org and comp structure.
The company has hundreds of millions in funding and needs to start acting like it.
Don't assume that because employees are quiet, they're happy.

There are two rounds of technical interviews and one round of hiring manager. The interviews are not very difficult, but they are all very practical. They are very much related to what the team is focusing on.
