Badly managed, but fun
Badly managed, but fun
Nice, smart young people, not too much bureaucracy.
High salary and stock options for seniors.
30% of middle management are incompetent liars. The culture used to be great, but it's going down. Lying is almost necessary for promotion. Many highly qualified and honest people are leaving.
Do not trust your subordinate group leaders blindly. The picture may be very different from what they say.
People that leave are often the best. People that are promoted are often just loyal and dishonest.
Talk with low-grade employees directly from time to time and give them some possibility to speak out about their bosses with no risk.
