Marqeta

Great teams, great talent, friendly environment.

Conscientious, progressive upper management.

You can progress and grow if you're talented at Marqeta, but our engineering management is still learning how to center empathy. The worst of this is that instead of building community, a small number of people still get by on playing politics. Their behavior is not publicly addressed. It would be great to hear the CEO, CPO or ET discuss what it means to support your fellow engineers. Interpersonal relationships matter.

Managers and Principals come from other companies, and they don't realize that they are not at X company anymore. Their methods might be useful, but they don't know how to make those contributions based on the Marqeta Way and with Marqeta Values.

VP and Eng managers should be held accountable for their behavior and the culture of the teams they create. There are a few people at the VP level who are immature. The immaturity shows up in their teams. You can ignore them, but they can take up a lot of space and blow a lot of hot air without coaching.
