Typical start-up with hyper-growth pain
Typical start-up with hyper-growth pain
- There are some extremely bright engineers;
- Interesting engineering problems to solve;
- Pay is good, if you manage to negotiate it well.
- Low quality execs, panic and hype driven decisions
- Secretive and questionable constant re-orgs and lay-offs
- Benefits are mediocre
- Forced PTO on predefined days branded as a "recharge day/week"
- Seniority that is randomly assigned; low quality engineers working at a principal level, senior managers and directors with no people or organisational level
- Stop laying off leaders overnight
- Build a true product vision, rather than chasing the next thing
- Or just resign and find more capable execs.
