Top-down decision-making and lack of innovation
Top-down decision-making and lack of innovation
Good ideas and people.
Benefits are competitive.
Workplace is good with snacks and relaxed.
Pay is decent for East Bay location and close to BART.
Growing market for cloud HR and financial products.
UI is good, on par with consumer websites.
Top-down decision-making is everywhere, be it in product management or technical leadership. Central technical architects make all decisions, but they do not involve themselves in daily scrums, which leaves the team looking for help always. Things are very slow to get done. The company is not set up for innovation to foster. They spend too much money on operations for a cloud company. There is no transparency regarding who is leaving the company or about customers. Performance is not on par with consumer websites.
Decentralize decision-making to teams and engineers.
More transparency on business and people.
Accelerate the push to cloud.
