Worst Work Culture - Stay away

Pros

At Turbonomic you will learn basically nothing but what not to do, and why you shouldn't work at a company where the employees are family members of upper management. CEO is amazing and I wish he was envolved in technical visions as well.

Cons

The culture is superficial and biased when it comes to the talk about improving it for engineers. You do not get credit for anything you do here. May be a bit of sugar coating from your manager but the reviews are never conveyed to upper management or across the company. Only family and friends of the founder or senior employees are being benefitted, and this is not just once but every time. There is too much of micro management. Founder wants to know everything and emails all development about asking why new bugs / breakdowns and other metrics. Most of the upper management is insecure and selfish, they simply don't want people in their team to grow in their career. They spent most of their time trying to please the founder. Engineers are sometimes yelled at or warned about coming late. There is zero motivation to work.

Thank you for sharing this view... we have evolved in the last year and the engineering team is as strong as ever. We have worked on rewards and recognition with more transparency. This helped us get better, thank you.

The opportunity is what you make it

Pros

Those who stay focused, work hard and commit to a plan will earn success. There is a lot to learn at Turbo and tons of high performers to team up with to achieve your goals. Make sure you have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish at Turbo and how that will help you achieve your long-term career goals. The opportunity to grow professionally here is unmatched by almost any other company, but it's not easy (nor should it be easy).

Cons

Yes the pace of change is hard to keep up with, but I've read many of these Glassdoor reviews and find some of the complaints to be pathetic. This is a culture where the strong, smart and committed not only survive, but thrive. My biggest complaint is the people who stick around at the company and contribute to the problem rather than helping improve the culture and building the company into what we all have the power to make it become.

Pros

Great product! And so great people trapped in a terrible company

Cons

No matter how hard you work or if you achieve your goals you still have to watch your back. You will hear from day one METRICS, if you do your job right and achieve your metrics goals than you are part of the winning team. That is totally FALSE! Hitting metrics doesn't really mean anything, it's all about being aligned with the right people. There is no transparency, company culture or support to speak of. Just a bunch of people stabbing each other in the back. I would not recommend working at this company.
