Sales-bro culture rules the roost. The CEO comes from a sales background, and it's all you'll hear about. (Money, money, money. More, more, more). It's really over the top at times and a huge turn-off. (Ie. The CEO sending out an email to the whole company saying "If you're here just to collect a paycheck, get out"). Disgusting. They're a public company, so stock options are a thing, but the way they dish them out to lower level staff feels a bit like indentured servitude. My last 2 years at the company, I didn't receive a proper raise due to inflation. However, I did receive RSUs that would vest over the next 3+ years. It left me in a position where I could either ride out my work-place depression & cash out in a few years, have enough to throw a downpayment for a home, or put my mental health first & just leave. Asked for a raise several times due to increasing work responsibilities, was told the time to ask for raises would be later in the year. When I followed up later at that time, I was told "Oh, the time to get that was back a few months ago when we last talked". The big dogs make way too much salary, and get rewarded big stock chunks, while lower level employees get pennies & RSUs if they just cling on a while longer.
