Unstable Compensation, Broken Trust, and Poor Leadership - Proceed with Extreme Caution
Pros
Talented individual contributors who genuinely tried to do the right thing despite poor leadership and constant change.
Cons
Unfortunately, this was the most dysfunctional and unethical organization I’ve worked for. In 2025 alone, the company changed compensation plans four times. In August, leadership retroactively eliminated earned commissions, including commissions on deals that were already closed and won. In simple terms: work was completed, revenue was booked, and commissions that employees had already earned were wiped out. On top of that, commission payouts were changed from monthly to quarterly, significantly delaying compensation. When many employees hit their targets later in the year, the company began layoffs instead of paying commissions, and those commissions were never paid. This created an environment of extreme instability, broken trust, and constant anxiety. Compensation rules changed without transparency, accountability, or regard for the impact on employees’ livelihoods.
