Culture problems ahead of their time

Pros

The company mission is admirable The company product is decent

Cons

The level of toxicity that the company has built in 7 years in the company is impressive The COO and MD of Ops run an annual cull where those whose face doesnt fit get made redundant, This has become an open secret and is widely talked about. The culture of fear is palpable. This culture leads operational teams to act recklessly to protect their local profitability leading to significant issues with city compliance and safety as well as a total lack of joined up thinking. I have never seen such narrow focus from a leadership team, the short term success of the business is not sustainable.

Remote work done right

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Engineers are encouraged to work with autonomy within the larger meritocracy. Decisions and designs are largely data-driven and peer-reviewed. Complex backend systems at scale that interact with hardware in the real world make for some interesting problems to solve. Lots of opportunities as the business grows and scales. Remote work is great but can be lonely, so to balance things out teams will get together in person a few times a year.

Cons

Some engineers in North America have to contend with multiple time zones - meetings in the evenings and early morning with teams in China and Europe. Too many meetings, and too much time in front of a webcam.
