- Culture has noticeably diluted as the company has scaled remote hiring; the in-office experience and the remote experience feel like two different companies - For a 25-year-old company, too many startup-era processes are still in place that should have been professionalized long ago - Core values are stated but not consistently lived — especially at the leadership level, where gatekeeping is common - Compensation is below market for most roles; unless you're in sales or have been here long enough to have negotiated up over time, you're likely underpaid relative to industry benchmarks

Values Disconnect: Accountability and Transparency are posted on the walls but are non-existent in practice. Management operates with a "rules for thee, but not for me" mentality. • Stagnant Scaling: Despite being in business for 25 years, the company is still crippled by "tribal knowledge." Leadership is resistant to modernizing processes, which effectively handicaps many attempts at scaling. • Hostile Leadership: The executive environment is highly volatile. The CEO’s leadership style is ego-driven and requires constant "kissing up"; those who don’t play into this dynamic are often targeted or marginalized. • Unprofessional C-Suite: Many in the upper echelon lack the professional maturity required for their roles. For many, this has been their only grown up job and it shows. This results in a "popularity contest" culture where career advancement is based on sycophancy rather than merit or KPIs. • Serious Cultural Red Flags: Beneath the festive activities lies a toxic atmosphere. New ideas are viewed as threats rather than contributions. Furthermore, there are serious concerns regarding the personal conduct of leadership and a lack of professional boundaries that only become apparent once you are onboarded. • HR Negligence: Human Resources appears to be a decorative function. They lack the teeth—or the interest—to address executive misconduct or protect the staff from an abusive environment.
