Stash

1. Met a lot of cool people, but they all left

1. The people that succeed most in the company are the ones that drink the koolaid and just say yes to everything handed down by leadership. (As one of the posts mentioned before, “the buddies.")

2. If you try to question things, you're seen as problematic. Especially women, because you’re likely to be more seen as negative and problematic in comparison to your male counterparts. HR will talk about how they’re trying to support women and POC in the all-hands meetings, but it’s all talk.

3. We've taken several engagement surveys that lead to zero action. This is a pattern of behavior that’s gone on for well over a year now.

4. Be prepared to work a lot to do nothing.

5. Be prepared to have all the credit taken from you and given to the buddies.

6. If you're in design, be ready to be handed solutions top-down. (All the good designers left for a reason.)

7. Company priorities shift all the time; for example, a new CCO came in, made the brand team rebrand the app, and then fired them before Christmas.

8. Be prepared to have zero work/life balance.

Stop pretending Stash is something that it's not. Take it one step at a time.

Reward people based on strong behavior and work ethic and not because they invited the C-Suite to dinner in their apartment.
