Deeply demoralizing environment - Anonymous employee FloQast Employee Review

Great people to work with. Great product.

I can't think of any

Decent benefits, some great people

Leadership has actively driven this company into the ground. Since the layoffs in 2024 (and countless silent layoffs since), engineering culture has been in freefall, and it keeps getting worse. Attrition is sky-high, and the CTO keeps stacking leadership with his own friends — people who know nothing about the job and default to threatening people’s jobs to compensate. The constant churn means institutional knowledge just walks out the door on a regular basis, leaving teams full of people who don’t actually understand the systems they’re responsible for. QA has been gutted to the point of being nearly nonexistent, so defects ship constantly and nobody catches them until customers do — made worse by a QA manager who’s notorious for threatening everyone’s job security while doing none of the actual work himself, spending his days on his phone instead. Deadlines materialize out of nowhere, driven entirely by leadership’s whims rather than any actual planning. Fire drills happen daily. Every one of the CTO’s initiatives has failed, and there’s zero accountability for any of it. The product org isn’t far behind. The heads of product and engineering apparently don’t speak to each other, which leaves everyone else scrambling to fill the gap and coordinate work that should’ve been aligned from the top. The SVP of Product is condescending to the point where it has caused attrition. Leadership keeps inserting itself further into product decisions despite having no real read on what users actually want — they’re clearly more interested in how things look than whether the product actually works.
