Pros
- Flexible PTO (unlimited) - Competitive Salaries - Many employees are good people - A few managers are competent and worth working for
Cons
- 20 layers of management - Inefficient in every way - Obscene spending followed by layoffs and a hiring freeze - Heavy drinking is normal and encouraged - Sexism is the culture - Being a bro is the only way to get ahead - Executive team plays favorites and allows managers to harass their employees as long as they play their games - No consequences for poor work because there are no goals or benchmarks - Many managers have less experience managing than their employees - Sexual harassment and theft are not punished - HR is managed by finance and constantly undermined by executives - Very resistant to change and unable to recognize their own deficiencies - Zero review process so there’s no way to give honest feedback without fear of retaliation - Expertise is unappreciated and disregarded - Horrible communication across teams and from the top down with no effort to improve - CEO hired his friends and allows them to incompetently manage teams until they fall apart - Management has no understanding of morale and fails to keep employees motivated - Less than 10 people in the company understand the product and there is no training - Sales sells products that don’t exist so they can make a sale and management does nothing - Reimbursement for expenses can take over a month - Errors are fixed with more man hours rather than fixing the technology - No unified system for knowledge sharing.
