Consistently disappointing

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

ICs are very kind, some recent hires have been great to work with. Most people seem to genuinely want to do good work.

Cons

Communication is a mess, disorganization in leadership is very obvious and trickles down, and egos across director and VP roles run rampant and make it very hard to make progress on projects and initiatives. Shady HR practices, shady hiring/firing practices, and the list goes on. Deeply demotivating environment to work in.
