The culture is changing

Pros

There are so many good things about Torc, including the pay, some very, very smart and driven individuals, a desire to have fun while working hard, and the mission.

Cons

The culture is changing, and the negative weight of this change is so thick you can feel it. To achieve our fantastic goals, we have to trust each other and be a collaborative team. I've seen the rise of a blaming culture, led mainly by one powerful individual on the C suite. Toxic genius is what comes to mind. Torc needs to consider if it's worth it.

Lack of Trust

Pros

Team atmosphere is amazing, people are fun to be around. Great collaboration across teams. That part of the culture has not changed. Feel supported up to middle management. Fun atmosphere, great people!

Cons

Over the last year it has become clear that new senior leadership does not trust anyone they preside over. That can be the VP's under them all the way down to managers over teams. Every small decision has to run through the CTO and his office (thus it takes forever to get things back). What is the point of middle management if they never make the decisions themselves or the people they preside over and/or are constantly scrutinized without good reason. Senior leadership wants "data driven decisions" (and there is nothing wrong with that). However, when the engineers turn around and provide those data driven decisions, senior leadership make decisions regardless of the data that is handed to them.
