Diamond Foundry reviews

Company value promoted by management clashes with work reality. Too many long "last stretches", weekends work and unpaid overtime, some people working easily 60 + hours/week for free during long periods of time. You could end up dedicated to a very bad manager and end up being sucked up in that manager's work culture.

- There is no coherent internal structure to the company. Unbalanced favor and rewards from leadership create a culture of tribalism and bitter infighting. No sense of a common goal, and the stress of navigating the conflict will follow you home. - Salary is well below market rate and the benefits are a joke. No 401k match or other significant retirement benefits - the CEO sees stock options as the "retirement plan". Most of the other benefits and perks have been axed over time. Raises and bonuses are rare and, more importantly, tiny. Your comp will not keep up with inflation. - Leadership changes the direction of the company often and with no warning. It's difficult to predict if your work will survive 6 or even 3 months without being discarded, which contributes to: - Morale. Morale is very, very low across the board. Projects are directionless with few avenues for feedback that isn’t politically motivated, deadlines are wildly unreasonable, and most staff have 2x or 3x the workload they can comfortably handle. The company refuses to hire, train, or reward people despite the increasing volume of work. Burnout is the status quo.
