CEO about as inspiring as a wet blanket
Health benefits are decent, and parental leave is generous. The manager is a legend.
- Too many engineering reorgs in recent years and no follow-up.
- Tons of old-timers who made the company great are leaving in droves.
- Rolling back Shut It Down Days, even after recruitment used them heavily to bring people in.
- CEO has no vision and is a poor communicator.
- Salaries are not competitive.
Upper management needs to get off of their ivory tower and see what's actually happening on the ground. Product is scattered and full of issues. We are stretched too thin to achieve all the goals those in SLT have set for us.
