Horrible culture, bad management, just added time tracking

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting and complex technology and hard technical problems

Cons

The company is run by people from the warehouse industry who think engineers are replaceable. This has led to poor management of people, a huge attrition rate, and generally a bad culture. Recently they added time tracking which just solidified this.

Pros

Honestly, there is nothing good about this company.

Cons

Purchased the company I worked for several months ago. The whole process of onboarding was chaos. Benefits weren’t available when promised. Payroll had numerous issues. Fast forward to now. We have all been left in the dark. Friday, 5/13, they laid majority of our team off. We were encouraged to apply to various positions during the first 90days. Hardly anyone was able to secure a position. Hopefully they got what they wanted and enjoy Walmart as their main customer.
