Cyngn reviews

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.

* Management is clueless about what their employees are working on. * Too many buzzwords. Obviously their product needs more sockets and graphs to be successful. * Focused on metrics over everything else. * Laid off a large chunk of employees, then started hiring again the next week. * Plans to monetize their product were always half-baked, and almost always were things users wouldn't want. * Focused too much on hiring for certain positions (SE), while other positions were desperately needed as they were understaffed/overworked. * Quality of new candidates dropped drastically while I was there.
