By far THE most toxic environment I have ever encountered. Elevate is so lucky that the job market sucks right now because otherwise I am sure there would be no one left (that is, whoever is left after all the people they continue to unceremoniously layoff).
This current round of leadership (*read* high turnover) is actually horrific. They do not care about the mission or the people. They make zero effort to build an actual relationship with their team members (convinced they don't even know half the people's names). They dump work on people with no clear vision of what that work is supposed to look like and then get mad when it's different than what they communicated. Their style of "leading" is just talking at/yelling at people and viewing them as numbers. They quite literally have no idea what is happening at the ground level and zero interest to learn, and none of them have an education background so they do not understand the nuances of the business model but simply want to see a high return to grow their own paychecks (and no, you won't see any of that money yourself). Middle management is BURNT while they try to protect their teams from leadership and constantly have to ask their teams to do work that is far beyond bandwidth. The people who succeed here are the most bullish ones with the loudest voices, even if what they're saying is not beneficial to the people or the company, just the bottom line.
If you're considering a role here, this is your sign to run in the other direction. This place will run itself into the ground and make you a casualty. You can get cool startup experience anywhere else - the only thing you'll get from this place is a high therapist bill.
