Not Great Anymore - Don't Be Fooled
Had a great culture & employees with tons of passion for the mission.
Great mission.
Charismatic CEO & a strong performance/presentation culture.
They still use old employee photos and culture artifacts to lure new employees to a culture that is long gone.
Ongoing deferral of critical technical work in favor of short-term product features.
Repeated layoffs of highly trusted employees due to rash decision making and politics.
Rotating leadership with ever-diminishing empathy & increasing politics over time.
Consider cleaning house amongst the founders, rather than repeatedly purging trusted employees after working them close to burnout.
