The best company I ever worked for turned into the worst company I ever worked for
The best company I ever worked for turned into the worst company I ever worked for
Good compensation and benefits. Not a sweatshop.
A place where arrogance, elitism, and know-it-alls became the only way to thrive. This caused all the really good engineers that are fun to work with to leave.
Sadly, a place where good ideas go to die. The only way the execs seem to try to innovate is by acquiring companies, and they fail at it.
Stock value is still in the same range as the IPO: a litmus test of the failed vision.
The product was great, but the tech is old, and the world has moved on from external storage arrays.
You've got plenty of excellent ICs, but you are top-heavy and full of arrogance. Charlie, take a hard look at your staff and clean up the ranks of the dead weight and the many VPs who have done nothing since you joined.
