Engineering leadership is driving talent away

Pros

Remote work, occasional onsites, lunch credit on Wednesdays

Cons

There has been recent massive turnover in Engineering and Product because of poor leadership. There are toxic behavior patterns such as condescending comments, confidently and repeatedly stating things as fact when they are blatantly untrue, micromanagement, lengthy arguments over minor issues, and deliberate misinterpretation of your words to discredit you. Engineering leadership doesn't take accountability for anything and excels at assigning blame to others, such as former employees who are not there to defend themselves. Sometimes they are defensive when confronted with feedback, other times they say they hear you but months go by with no changes. Exec leadership tries to deny that this is a problem, but it's not a secret. Many people who resigned recently have mentioned engineering leadership on their way out the door.

Pros

The team at Sittercity is first-class. Everyone at the company has been incredibly supportive, and I feel that the management team has given me the leeway to be successful in my role. I'm tremendously excited about the mission of the company, and I feel that as we enter 2018 the team has a new momentum to achieve it.

Cons

We're trying to reinvent the category that we pioneered, and that's a huge challenge. If you are looking for a clearly defined operating role, it's going to be hard to find that today at Sittercity. However, if you can embrace all of the changes around you and adapt, you'll make a real impact on the company and, in turn, families across the country!

Pros

This is my first week at Sittercity and I feel so welcomed! I have been extremely impressed with the new hire onboarding process, including a "Welcome!" package sent to my home with company SWAG, complimentary team lunch on my first day, and an organized onboarding schedule, communicated to me before my start date. The team culture is welcoming and inviting, with a huge focus on DEI. I genuinely feel I can bring my true and whole self to work. While I have only just begun my journey with this new work family, I would highly recommend this company to anyone who asks.

Cons

At this point, I have no cons to note.
