Great Core Values, Promotion Blocked
Great Core Values, Promotion Blocked
Great core values and honest people up till March 2023, for sure, as one of the wonderful co-founders, Aneel Bhusri, is still working. With the new CEO, Carl Eschenbach, I'm not sure about that. A couple of months after Carl joined, many of the high leaders whom I have known to be honest and genuinely kind people (e.g., Pete Schlampp, Barbara Larson) have left.
It's hard, or close to impossible, to get promoted above a certain level in engineering and in management.
I've seen people even doing exceptional quality work 24/7 for more than a year, way above their tier, yet they would not be promoted.
Hope they'll change that.
