Toxic upper management - two tech bros failing up + micromanagement
Toxic upper management - two tech bros failing up + micromanagement
A lot of great ICs to work with, who genuinely want to make things better. The new pay scale is competitive.
Two inexperienced tech-bros swept up by market demand for GPUs into a failing upwards scenario.
Almost every quarter these two read some nonsense on the internet and think that this is how I should run the company.
Consistently chipping away at morale, leaving tenured staff just vesting.
Low morale, lots of backstabbing among management and not to mention the overbearing micromanagement by the CTO.
The medical benefits are a joke.
Also the two founders keep this mirage of open communication, but as any old timer will tell you, saying something will put a target on your back and you'll be gone in about one quarter.
