Thanks for the contribution to the conversation here and for your positive comments on the engineering environment here at MakeSpace. Working with solid and driven individuals and being able to have a direct impact on the product is very impactful. I hear you on the feeling of separation from other teams - it’s a result of each team growing significantly over the last year, creating a sales team, and moving into a much bigger and distributed office space. Creating an efficient office layout that works for all types of working styles is top of mind and something we’re putting our resources behind. I'm always open to discussing ideas for team building events and with the warm weather around the corner - we've got some real fun and engaging ideas (that don't involve just going to a bar!) The People team takes all of your suggestions and values your thoughts. Thanks again!

Pros

good benefits, some nice people

Cons

senior management had unreasonable expectations about work hours, all hands were scheduled at 7am to avoid "cutting into the workday", employees were discouraged from "distracting" each other with chat software, total lack of company culture

Majore culture + retention issues

Pros

- Generally a good crew of hard working people. - Good office location - Lunches a few times per week

Cons

- Toxic culture and drama: a lot of office drama, bad mouthing, etc. Doesn't seem like many people are happy at the company, which leads to high turnover. - Leadership/management issues: the CEO likes to micro-manage A LOT. - Little/no professional growth: did not feel like I was given the room to grow professionally and a number of coworkers felt the same way. - Turnover: A ton of turnover. This is combination of people quitting and getting fired. I've never seen such high turnover anywhere, across all roles in the company, from executives to drivers.
