Company culture can be overly aggressive Lots of widespread communication issues Not many senior women (particularly in engineering) Eng team is always sprinting -> lots of tech debt A lot of the eng managers are very junior and were promoted for technical abilities rather than people management skills Top level management is very reactive

WORST PLACE TO WORK (ESP AS BIPOC)

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

>> Free lunch when in office only (They do not offer a stipend or any support throughout COVID despite a surge in cash flow)

Cons

>> Horrible direct leadership >> Segregated office (Many non-POC coworkers do not say hi or acknowledge anyone who doesn't look like them in the office. I worked there for years and literally 0.5% of people said hi to me or even realized I'd worked there so long) >> Every single NY Holiday party has a sex or assault scandal >> They do not offer appropriate compensation for BIPOC - they refuse to promote BIPOC, they do not raise their salaries at any reviews, they give terrible reviews ahead of compensation reviews, refuses to promote internally despite the increasing level of workload and the responsibilities of coworkers making $30,000+ than me but being white and "safer" >> The work culture asks that you work 12+ hours a day with no recognition and you get guilted the entire time if you want to have any decent work/life balance >> Non-BIPOC act surprised anytime an employee who is BIPOC makes an intelligent argument or dismisses their idea entirely until a white person says the same idea and suddenly gets the praise
