WORST PEOPLE TEAM

Pros

Work from home, plenty of vacation, benefits are amazing, and mental health days are always a plus.

Cons

No Career Development at all. I worked in HR and after a year of BS and seeing how bad the management has became over the year I decided to leave. My management was terrible. It was the only department with lots of women (which most of them all came from a previous company and worked together) so the management are friends outside of work and it's like a cult. Us low hanging fruit have no chance of promotions or raises. We were micromanaged daily with all new management based out of Boston and they were all terrible. Everytime we would meet and bash the other departments and talk about the bad reviews on glassdoor and think of ways to bring up the ratings (including making fake reviews). If you see all the good reviews they are placed after a bad review goes public to keep the ratings up. We never addressed any issues from the employee's. Instead we always laughed at how useless most of the people are here in the company and we shared so many secrets that we should not have. As a company they need to do better with management. Almost every violation and complaint was about the upper management and nothing gets done. All the bad reviews are all bad and on point about women not having much say in anything. Unless you are in the people team you are pretty much screwed from all the male dominating managers. The sausage fest rules in the company. And do not believe the good reviews, they are all FAKE and ridiculously obvious.

Twilio Part Deux

Pros

If you've ever wanted to be part of Twilio you may now experience it by joining the Neo4j sales team!

Cons

The new CRO appears, in my opinion, to be cleaning house and replacing sales reps and leaders with their former Twilio colleagues. Neo4j's wonderful European culture has been swallowed by a group of mediocre American business leaders the CEO has hired. Neo4j is now just another sad Silicon Valley tech company, except we don't even have an office there anymore.

Pros

- Competitive Pay - Big market opportunity - Having a job in this current tech market

Cons

- Revolving door of leadership (voluntary exits) - Huge lack of accountability across the company, lots of pointing fingers - Individuals lower on the totem pole held to different standards than senior+ leadership - Big communication issues across departments (pretty typical for a lot of organizations, but there are levels to this and it is BAD) - Heavy workload made worse by a culture that lacks proper recognition for hard work - A non-existent people / HR team (the department exists, but not sure what they are actually doing, "they're working on it" is a common phrase you will hear) - Huge 'data debt' and operations teams that have been underinvested in for years with no signs of meaningful change - VERY low team morale Be very cautious as you think about joining Neo4j. Do as much backchanneling as you can to figure out the nuances of the specific team / situation you will be joining. There is definitely opportunity here, but you need to be aware of the tradeoffs that comes with and just how bad certain situations are / will be for the foreseeable future.
