High Risk, High Reward
High Risk, High Reward
Great business model.
Career opportunities abound if you can break through the cliques.
Decent benefits.
Absurd levels of churn and attrition at senior/leadership levels, even for a startup. More than 75% in some departments.
Lack of strategic alignment and vision at the product/leadership level is blamed on working teams.
Poor downward communication of priorities.
Senior management treats engineers as disposable.
Recent pattern of aggressive cost-cutting through reduced compensation and offshoring.
It's OK to offshore, I get it. But don't gaslight employees and pretend you're addressing performance issues when you fire entire teams 'for performance' then rehire them on another continent. These folks got the company to where they are and deserve better. The company is doing well enough to treat employees with respect.
