Robinhood

If you were hired in 2022 or earlier, you'd have a great salary and remote opportunities. More recently, they've been taking the cheap route and underpaying their new hires.

Robinhood leadership always tries to protect themselves only. It doesn't feel like they care about their larger workforce, only their higher-ups. They use middle management to deliver decisions that can't be changed, so they don't have to face the grief that comes with them. They enlist budget workers, hire cheaper, and make all their employees come back to the office while higher-level employees get all the benefits of full remote work, higher levels, and higher pay. They will hire 3-4 levels lower but give these new hires work that was previously done by higher-level employees. They preach empathy but don't actually practice it, as whatever the decision from upper management is, it is the final word. It feels like it's ruled with an iron fist here, and it's really depressing.

Management feels so out of touch with their direct reports. They work their employees like dogs and don't care about your feelings or personal situations. It's not a collaborative environment; it's more of an "it's my way or the highway" type of feeling from management.
