Worst company of my career

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- decent folks at the IC level - culture is so toxic, you can really trauma-bond with your colleagues!

Cons

- the culture is laughably bad - was common to laugh with colleagues during and after town halls at how horrible the culture has become. - mid-level managers range from incompetent to downright toxic (esp in DS). And in most instances, one would come from a meeting questioning if a mid-level manager had any relevant experience. - truly, the most horrible experience of my career. If i could give more detail I would, but I've never seen anything as poorly run as this company. Run far away, fast.

Marketing is less of a priority than product/engineering at this stage.
