Dragos reviews

Occasional leadership instability, there have been a couple rounds of layoffs, and product development can move slowly. Training budgets for external sources are relatively low. Promotions can move a bit slowly with minimal cost of living increases (periodic relative salary reviews occur instead).

Senior leadership rose from being independent contributors, which is okay if they have the aptitude and proper training. They didn't. There was infighting, drama, and an unnecessarily powder keg environment in product where there didn't need to be. Smart people left their equity on the table and said enough and those who were left after multiple layoffs only did so because the job market was so rough. No merit increases and no promotions unless you worked your way into the good graces of a member of the executive team. Incredible talent was wasted every day because mid to senior leadership were too in the weeds and incapable of setting goals that made sense and leading an organization to achieve them. The "north star" changed every quarter. It's a shame, but if they shift gears it can still be salvaged. Not sure if they're willing to do that.
