Pros

The office is in a beautiful location near Lake Merritt. The workspace is very modern with a solid snack program and free food on certain days. It's very much up to par with other, bigger software companies in the bay.

Cons

Management refuses to defend or go to bat for their employees.

Upper management perpetuates a toxic work culture which encourages buck-passing and shrugging off of concerns.

Companies which have this kind of culture very early on rarely recover - make a change before it's too late!

Advice to Management

Stick up for your employees and put in effort to retain the good ones. People leave bad managers, not bad companies - and Marqeta is a great company with a lot of bad managers.

Unless you start giving high performing employees a reason to stay, the company will continue to spiral until no competent people remain.
