Lots of promise, but poor comp and confused leadership
Lots of promise, but poor comp and confused leadership
- Good product and a mission that feels right.
- Lots of growth opportunities in the market.
- Generally good WLB and nice people.
The company is struggling to compete with global tech companies for compensation and just can't seem to get its act together. There's lots of hot air but no actual concrete steps to solve it.
An aversion to process and tools means lots of confusion, and crazy pivots to "code red" situations that cause a lot of thrash in the company.
Inexperienced leadership changes its mind too much and defaults to micromanagement.
Build teams you can trust, and get out of the way.
