Great company, growing culture, toxic team

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall great COMPANY. Emphasis on the word company. - Leaders are everything. I trust our CEO whole-heartedly and believe he will (and has) take this company to the next level. - Our product is terrific. It is a total leader in the market. I can not say enough good things about our product. Kudos to the product and engineering team! - Pretty open and transparent communication. Feedback is very encouraged and answers are addressed candidly. - You can see they are trying to create a more collaborative culture: new technology, new spaces, etc.

Cons

Toxic team. Emphasis on the word team. - Some leaders are not fit to scale a department and the company in the direction we need to head. Although there are talented people at the company, others have leveled up based on sheer politics. This ironically is causing talented employees to leave. - No path to promotion or professional development. Instead, efforts are focused on how to "make us get along." - Pay is not competitive in today's market. - Sometimes expectations don't match with strategy. Upper managers will often put the pressure on their teams to meet deliverables with no help: no additional resources, support, guidance, or real plan on how to get there. This is masked by echoing "we are empowering YOU to be innovative and creative. Now go figure it out!" I don't feel empowered I feel entrapped.
