They say they strive for the best culture in the world, but it's a front. It's deceiving, and the leadership team tries to care, but all they care about is the money.

Compensation, benefits, and free food (in the office) were nice perks.

1. Little autonomy. Ever since the “partnership” with Indeed, we have lost all autonomy in our book of business.

2. Zero transparency or executive-level support. The entire executive team seems to have zero idea what is happening in the go-to-market org.

3. Continuous roadblocks to success. You’re not setting your employees up for success, and you’re seeing people leave because they realize the workload is not sustainable.

4. Lack of diversity.

5. Measurement. If you expect your team to perform, give them quotas on time and transparency into how they are built.

6. Collaboration. Properly define the roles and responsibilities between marketing, product, engineers, and their counterparts. It provides chaos internally and a poor client experience externally.

There is no best culture in the world when the leadership team doesn't act on it. Even during this pandemic, the members of the people team have yet to care and ask if their employees are burnt out or not.

Find people who know what they're doing.
