Lambda reviews

Like lots of tech companies and especially smaller startups, we're not a super diverse company, though there are efforts underway to improve this (staff-led and exec-sponsored DEI resource group is one example). Our planning process needs work and can vary somewhat depending on what team you're on, though we tend to focus on the right things as an engineering org and engineers in general are really engaged in the projects they're working on.

* Janky tech stack (ALL Django, even the backend) * All execution, no planning. Tech debt impossible to avoid. * Questionable business decisions (e.g. offloading customer workloads to other clouds) * Low transparency, low communication, low empathy. Both business and technical decisions happen out of sight (with minimal input), and you either get on board - fast - or face the wrath of the C-suite * Good ideas are those that fit within the comfort zone of the CTO. Bad ideas are everything else. * Fairly political for such a small company. Brown-nosers have undue influence. * As other reviews have noted, this is the brothers first company. The success so far is admirable but their lack of humility and inability to communicate and plan effectively is a huge liability. * Was a fairly chill place when I joined but over time the good people left and the vibes changed. Now there's an undercurrent of tension, unending urgency, and suspicion.
