This place is a mess from the top down. Leadership is clueless, priorities change on a whim, and layoffs hang over everyone like a storm cloud. It is not a career move, it is a cautionary tale. If you value stability, respect, or actual leadership, do yourself a favor and stay far away. - Leadership turnover never ends. If you are not one of the CEO’s friends, you are disposable. If you are one of her friends, she will invent a role for you or make room for you, even if you have no experience in it. - The culture is all about saying yes. Disagree with leadership and you are out. People who rock the boat don't last. - Layoffs have been constant for several years. Lately the focus has been cutting engineering so the company can chase AI hype. There is no clear strategy, just a scramble to look trendy. - Priorities shift constantly. The project graveyard is extensive. Anything that was “mission critical” last month is tomorrow’s abandoned experiment. - For a company that sells HR tech, they handle HR issues poorly. - The leadership team has no real vision. They get distracted by whatever shiny idea is pitched to the CEO. If you can spin a story about why it matters, you can get resources to build it, even if it makes no sense. - Institutional knowledge doesn’t exist. With so much churn, no one knows what’s been tried before, what worked, or even where basic information lives. New hires are essentially left to fend for themselves.

The start up world is not for the faint of heart. Changes in direction happen ... and they must happen. Working here means to remain flexible.
