Highly talented workforce stymied by toxic leadership
Pros
This company is the clear leader in the various space(s) it operates in. The workforce is highly talented, skilled, hungry, and a pleasure to work with. Teams are motivated and many of us enjoy working on the types of problems we're faced with. - Great people - Cool tech - Bright business opportunities/futures - Fast pace
Cons
There is an increasing sense of toxicity coming from upper echelons of the company. Right now the growth stage the company is in (one of becoming a real company vs a startup) is suffering from mercurial leadership, micromanagement, and ruling by fear/intimidation. It's a very uncomfortable place to be. And the fear of retribution coupled with lack of seeing any positive change come from flagging concerns to leadership has created an environment of extreme anxiety at most levels. - Mercurial leadership - Horrible vacation policy - Stock options are weak (offer letter misleading) - Lack of trust
