Three years, and from decent place to dumpster fire
Pros
there are a lot of good non-management people that work here, and the benefits are decent.
Cons
When I started here 3 years ago, the company environment was a lot more welcoming. Granted, I started during the Covid lockdown and was hired as a remote engineer. 3 years later, most of the C-Suite has been replaced. Our new CEO doesn't seem to have a clue how to work with engineers and those from technical backgrounds. Our CEO comes from a finance background and ONLY cares about the bottom line and profit. Sacrifice the people in pursuit of the almighty profit. Greed seems to run this instead of common sense. Recently we have been instructed to RTO. Anyone with a 75 MINUTE commute is expected to come in. Do you really expect me to make a 2+ hour commute to the office on my own time? Add additional stress of sitting at a dead stop on the freeways and highways. Struggle to find parking? Paying for my own parking? No. Just ... No. I have tried to contact the CEO anonymously via email several times with my concerns, and it's been ignored. They are pressing on with this, which I fully believe is planned attrition. With this attrition, it will take the best people who know the platform and the technology, and have spent years building and maintaining. It's obvious that the C-suite doesn't care about its employees. They have done 3 rounds of layoffs in the last 9-12 months. Everyone here is paranoid that they will be hit next. I know for a fact that a LOT of people are ACTIVELY looking for new jobs. Why does a rat desert a sinking ship... The C-suite seems to want to prep this company for sale, but by the time all of this impact is seen, they are going to have customer churn due to the people that were hired and built out their products are gone, and new people are going to take a while to ramp up.f I will say that I am actively looking for a new job. The inability of the C-suite to listen to feedback shows exactly what they think about us.
