Amazing Employees | Awful Execs

Pros

Oddly, the execs behave like spoiled children and the VCs that fund this startup are the parents who allow them to misbehave. There is a lot of ego in the airspace for no reason. The employees seem to burn and turn quickly like a little too quickly for a new startup. Overall it's a funhouse of incompetence. So why am I writing the negatives in the Pros comment box? Because my mom told me not to saying anything if I had nothing nice to say. I have nothing nice to say so I am writing in the Pros section so it appears I am saying something good but I'm really not.

Cons

Revert back to the Pros.

Pros

A lot of the people who used to work there are good.

Cons

In April 2016, Cyanogen had about seventy people working there. In November 2016, they had forty -- half the company left, plus four or five hires. Everyone who isn't in upper management is working on finding another job. I saw a coworker almost cry when describing how a member of upper management treats them. They said that, every time they met with that person, they immediately went to HR after to record what the person said to them. I've heard similar stories about another member of management. My last manager at the company tried to manage me while he was on vacation halfway around the world. He used this to try to smear me in front of HR -- passing off completed tasks as not having been done, claiming things showed no traction despite updated JIRA tickets, lying about deadlines.
