Pros
Great people at the individual contributor and middle management levels who genuinely care about their work. Flexible environment, good compensation, and strong collaboration across teams outside of the executive layer. The projects themselves are interesting and challenging in a positive way.
Cons
Torc has struggled with direction and stability over the past year. Priorities change every half, sometimes even quarterly, which makes it difficult for teams to stay focused or deliver meaningful progress. The company has not had a true CEO presence, and decision making has often fallen to the CTO, creating confusion and frustration across departments. The CTO has been the puppet master while the CEO is pretty much a figurehead. There’s a significant disconnect between upper management and the teams doing the actual work. Morale is low, and it’s hard for employees to feel motivated or valued when long-term goals keep moving and so many things remain unanswered. Many talented people have left, and those who remain are doing their best to hold things together despite constant shifts in direction.
