Company suffers from systemic Bait & Switch
Company suffers from systemic Bait & Switch
Really great people are flocking here.
Outdoor culture.
Some interesting problems to solve.
They underdeliver on nearly everything promised.
Really understaffed, suffering from growing too fast then coming to a standstill. Most people are overworked.
HR makes it really hard to switch teams (similar to other competitors). The trail program is deceptive unless they tell you about the home department system beforehand.
Long hours for relatively low pay in the market, a poor raise & promotion system.
