Lots of potential squandered by poor leadership - Senior Software Engineer LeafLink Employee Review

Worked for Ryan and Zach, great leadership navigating complicated industry. Learned a lot through company growth, lots of incentives for quality output. Was able to work across multiple teams, gain valuable experience, multiple promotions, great career experience.

Rapid growth and changing leadership led to lots of friction / morale issues.

There are talented people across the company, and many employees genuinely care about doing good work and supporting customers. There are opportunities to learn quickly, especially if you are someone who can operate in ambiguity and take on a lot of responsibility.

The workload is extremely heavy, and many roles feel like you are expected to do the work of 10 different jobs at once. Expectations are often unrealistic, priorities constantly shift, and there is very little structure or support to help employees be successful. Leadership often feels disorganized and disconnected from what employees are dealing with day to day. Communication can be unclear, decisions feel reactive, and employees are often left to figure things out on their own. The constant layoffs create a heavy feeling of instability. There is an ongoing sense of impending doom around when the next round will happen, which makes it hard to feel secure or motivated. When people leave or are laid off, the remaining employees are expected to absorb the extra workload with no meaningful pay adjustment, title change, or additional support. Company culture feels basically nonexistent. Morale is low, there is little sense of community, and the environment feels more reactive than collaborative. Career growth is also extremely limited, with no clear path forward or meaningful investment in internal development.
