[Steer Clear] Poor leadership - culture, diversity, people at the bottom of the barrel

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Even leadership is aware that the only pro is the free food.

Cons

Avoid this company at all costs. You'll leave the office feeling drained and depressed. There's no culture, leadership doesn't care about the people...it's truly a soul suck. They say they have competitive benefits but they actually don't. The benefits are just ok and there are no real perks

No enterprise leadership and poor diversity

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some folks are smart but very green

Cons

Lots of politics among teams and very little alignment or strategy. It feels like ideas are being randomly pursued while customer needs suffer. While there’s smart people, everyone it’s very green and there’s practically no enterprise saas experience in the business. It all feels chaotic with no path forward. A lot of departures happening. Diversity is really poor and the CEO and other have explicitly said it’s not a priority. Sad to see in 2023.
