Management in Shambles

Pros

Get to attend some cool events: sports, concerts, comedy shows, etc. Remote work. 6% 401k match + equity earning opportunities depending on time at company.

Cons

Management had no set direction, never responded to inquiries or questions, and use fear tactics to make employees Yes men. Feedback was encouraged, until given and then used against you for providing it. Frat boy culture. Women in the company were airheads and all the guys were 'bros' with no head on their shoulders. Impossible to move anywhere in the company no matter how experienced you were. Everyone who was hired was external who know important people in the company. Fear tactics, fear tactics, fear tactics. Management wanted you scared. The culture was a nightmare.

Thank you for sharing your experience. While we’re glad you valued the unique perks like access to live events, remote flexibility, and equity opportunities, we’re genuinely sorry to hear your overall experience didn’t reflect the inclusive and empowering culture we strive to build. The issues you’ve raised around leadership, feedback culture, and internal mobility are taken seriously. We’re actively working to improve transparent communication and career growth pathways to ensure every teammate feels supported and heard. Your feedback helps shape those efforts, and we appreciate you taking the time to provide candid feedback to help us get better.
