Pros
Product/mission/basics are all good. Company trajectory seems okay although not great.
Cons
Extreme finger-pointing culture. Here is the problem: leadership is tone-deaf, personal and insulting in their feedback, every single function leader. As a result, people fear for their jobs and are extremely stressed on a personal level. Knowing this, how can you even blame the people that point fingers, immediately up-level all minor issues to management, and essentially try to make other people look bad constantly? They are trying to save their own livelihood. It is literally bad mojo flowing downhill. Employees at Eightfold are constantly presented with impossible goals because leadership A) doesn't understand what they are asking for and B) will straight up threaten their positions if they offer anything other than complete agreement - it creates desperation. It's a poisonous feedback loop and a reason why this company is having trouble retaining and hiring people. How many companies have we read about doing the right thing for their teams during the pandemic? This company has done the opposite. Huge number of current employees so bitter about how leadership has treated them that they are rooting against the company...great.
