Mostly reviewing to see how things were going after I left

Pros

Good salary, good benefits, excellent mission.

Cons

Warring factions rather than cohesive teams, terrible leadership, and twice yearly "reorganization" that feels more like shuffling cards than any form of strategy.

Poor ELT, Moral, and Direction

Pros

Great people at the individual contributor and middle management levels who genuinely care about their work. Flexible environment, good compensation, and strong collaboration across teams outside of the executive layer. The projects themselves are interesting and challenging in a positive way.

Cons

Torc has struggled with direction and stability over the past year. Priorities change every half, sometimes even quarterly, which makes it difficult for teams to stay focused or deliver meaningful progress. The company has not had a true CEO presence, and decision making has often fallen to the CTO, creating confusion and frustration across departments. The CTO has been the puppet master while the CEO is pretty much a figurehead. There’s a significant disconnect between upper management and the teams doing the actual work. Morale is low, and it’s hard for employees to feel motivated or valued when long-term goals keep moving and so many things remain unanswered. Many talented people have left, and those who remain are doing their best to hold things together despite constant shifts in direction.

Pros

Good people, hard working middle management that genuinely know how to run the business, good pay, solid technical performance and IP if management would get out of the way.

Cons

Weak leadership team. Needs to be taken over. Easily fixed with proper leadership. Upper management is asking us to run faster…but they just kneecapped us. They change strategy every month and don’t have experience running companies that are not R and D small businesses. No idea how to make a profit or hold a strategy. Make decisions based on ego and bluster…not talent or logic or efficiency. I’ve never seen a company waste so much money on just flip flopping between decisions.
