Toxic Culture, Smart Engineers
Toxic Culture, Smart Engineers
- The onboarding process is the best I have ever had.
- The experimentation framework is decent.
- Some strong engineers and data scientists.
- Compensation and benefits are great, though RSUs are not promising.
Pink flavor of toxic Uber. Obvious because a lot of folks here are ex-Uber.
Company will never be profitable. Engineers & PMs here are arrogant, toxic, and political. They browbeat each other, torpedo each other's work, gossip, yell, and falsely blame each other. This is the only company I have worked where the politics exists at the engineer/PM level. Because the management is desperate to retain talent, if you are smart & arrogant, you will be shielded at the expense of other employees.
The arrogance of the engineers does not match their talent level. They are merely clever engineers, but lacking in maturity, experience, and intellectual humility. If they worked at a place like Google, they would be humbled in a day.
My PM was a plagiarist and dating another PM in the same team, leading to all kinds of weird interactions. HR and upper management would not fix it.
Token DEI hires who do not meet the bar.
- Get rid of toxic folks.
- You will never be profitable.
Why keep leeching VC money to subsidize rides?
