Shiny house of cards with disaster leaders is bound to collapse
Pros
- smart people - you come across genuinely nice people - you’ll trauma bond and make friends - free lunch & snacks
Cons
- recent positive reviews are fake. Recruiters were told to write them and were even given QR codes for it. - the company is a joke that prioritizes speed above all. Release timelines are too short for our products to function properly, so customers are pissed. - CEO is a walking inferiority complex. It’s like he holds grudges against founders who are doing well - he’s so self-absorbed he can’t stand to see others succeed. He thinks he’s this amazing leader - he’s not. It’s pathetic. - WLB is non-existent - you won’t get paid what you’re worth, and they recently announced that they won’t be giving employees anymore equity refreshers or compensation adjustments - so why even join at this point? (I’m waiting to vest some more equity before heading out) - Don’t ever go to HR. For anything. Nothing will change. The toxic culture won’t change. Managers (including the CEO) will continue to make it a hostile environment with their aggression and discriminatory jokes about race, gender and disability without consequence. Going to HR will just put a target on your back. - You’ll be verbally and emotionally abused, but then gaslit to believe you’re lucky to work there. - your car window might break from falling pine cones in the parking lot (I wish I was kidding), and you’ll have to pay for it yourself.
