- Quarterly reviews are designed to weed out people who aren't willing to do the Silicon Valley 996 (9am-9pm 6 days per week).
- No work/life balance encouraged. CEO regularly messages about expectation of working nights and weekends in emails and all hands meetings.
- People are disposable. Multiple colleagues fired during my short 1.5 year tenure. No PIPs or warnings are offered, people aren't given a chance to improve prior to being let go unexpectedly. It only takes one performance review that's not the top level to be fired.
- Intense pressure for things that shouldn't be so stressful. Lives are not on the line!
- Leadership's pressure trickles down to teams creating unsafe culture of fear.
- No company values beyond making as much money as possible.
- Drink the kool-aid culture; if you don't drink it, you won't last.
- Terminated while struggling with protected disability that was disclosed to boss; offered no accommodations or support to manage challenges.
- Backstabbing culture; boss treated me like a friend then used everything I shared in confidence to weaponize it against me.
- Rude colleagues; was continuously ignored when trying to extend an olive branch from marketing to product. Even a warm intro from a product teammate was ignored.
