Medallia reviews

Tribalism is pretty evident at Medallia. While not necessarily bad (i.e. your immediate teams will be very close and effective) this breeds behavior that makes people political which makes certain tasks stupidly difficult to accomplish (e.g. getting staffing for a project). Unfortunately, this also makes the company a breeding ground for weasels and sycophants. Diversity is lauded at Medallia - unless you have any inkling conservative leanings. If you're a conservative you may experience some micro-aggression (e.g. "wow, for a conservative you don't have that gun-toting, gay hating image), but nothing that will make you phone the ACLU. Just come into the office, do good work, and then go home to read Drudge Report. Finally there's a shocking dirth of emotionally aware, competent managers all the way up to the C-suite. If you want to survive here, learn to manage upwards and nod your head in approval.

'Leadership'. The top heavy organization is filled with first time people managers who train on you. Highly political and people run useless initiatives just to get promoted. Doing great work is not enough. You have to play the game. There is no such thing as career advancement here. You move from one bad org to another and there is a lot of churn in the engineering teams.
