Toxic environment with lack of genuine leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

benefits and pay and (used to be) remote flexibility, platform used to be unique (no longer, just AI slop)

Cons

toxic, fake environment where people are encouraged to only look out for themselves, teams work in silos for shortterm gains no stable leadership or leadership vision in company culture and growth no leadership transparency or genuineness, middle managers are products of nepotism or false promises no focus on career growth or development diversity and inclusion is just for show - not ingrained in values or practice filled with tech company veterans all trying to recreate toxicity from ex-employers

Good pay and benefits but poor work culture

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, opportunities to travel, flexible working

Cons

- There is a fake-nice culture where niceness is only dependent on how much work you can provide for them. - The preference is to work with a lean team leading to overworking and burnout - Not diverse at all - Career progression is almost impossible - Seems like many don’t even understand the product and business strategy is all over the place - Extremely US-centric which makes working outside of the US challenging, although they say non US markets are a priority, it’s not the reality - Stock price has tanked
