The company is changing a lot. It's very messy with little transparency
There are some nice people and some strong engineers, even if not all. The huge scale of some systems is exciting.
- Leadership team doesn't believe in remote work.
- Leadership team is not transparent with the "why" of decisions. Instead of just not saying it, they will lie to you or tell half-truths.
- A lot of inequality in salaries. Some engineers make 3x what others make, without much reason for it.
- "Sorry we're French" gets used to justify anything from being late to meetings consistently, to being inconsiderate, to speaking French in meetings or Slack threads, in an international company.
- Heavy changes are going on at the company, making it a bad time to join. Wait a year and see if it still is there.
The CEO should probably leave. Get more professional experience under your belt, having someone else as your boss before you decide to lead people again and learn what you did wrong.
Half the management can go. It's like for every decision, there are 3x directors, 2x VPs, and 4x PMs involved. Soon we'll have more managers than people doing work.
