InVision reviews

Engineering and Product leadership is like a revolving door, and as a result nobody ever seems to know where the company should be going. New leaders come in and want to make their mark so they implement splashy plans like relentlessly reorganizing the company, hiring more managers, firing people, etc. but nobody ever actually does anything substantive. The worst part is that we always get to a point where we start to develop organizational cohesiveness and momentum, and then a leader thinks that's a perfect time for a reorg and all the momentum dies and people quit. Then leaders put together committees to "figure out engineering health" but it's a whole lot of empty words and defensiveness about the problems. Nothing ever changes.

- Many teams have been halved due to layoffs and veterans leaving. There are no plans to backfill them. This leaves the remaining team members with a massive workload and no relief. - Toxic culture of middle managers escalating inconsequential things, causing most of the workers to put out fires that don't really move the needle. - Work-life balance is non existent due to above factors. There was a generic email that went out encouraging some time off but never really heard anything from senior leadership. - Senior leadership is also pretty vague with regards to company confidence, layoffs, future roadmap, etc and don't really provide harried employees any reassurance of normality. - Product is severely lagging the competition. - Zero career progression strategy. - All the above factors don't lend themselves to a great work environment.
