Linode reviews

I am writing this review specifically because authorship credits on content are being removed for former employees. If you work in content creation as a marketer, technical writer, blogger, etc., you will be able to have your name on the material you create only for as long as you work there. Thankfully I saved all of my work in text files, but I can now no longer link to content that I created at Linode for my portfolio without saying "By the way, Linode has a policy of removing all authorship credit for former employees." Full disclosure - I was offered a much better career opportunity, salary, and work location to leave for an industry rival. When I left it was nothing personal; just the better choice for my career. Now that I see how Linode is treating it's former employees, I'm glad I left when I did. Management has a pattern of being vindictive against former employees.

...but there's that 2 year non-compete that you signed when you got hired! * Pay is a fraction of the industry standard * Located in "Silicon Galloway", aka nowhere. * CEO is surrounded by an echo chamber of his old friends in the exec team. * Stagnant growth * Annual performance reviews are regularly late, by just 6 or so months. * If you have an idea on improving the company, you can put it on the list and cross your fingers that someone from the exec team will pass off a non-answer in a year or so. * Execs try to push the idea that the company is a family and has great culture. This may have been true a year or so ago, but it is no longer the case. Linode recently introduced Linode Lunches and stocked the pantry with snacks. This is the definition of bread and circuses.
