Venmo reviews

- Terrible, tone-deaf management. Their approach is to pretend like everything's OK and lie. - A lot of middle managers float at the top doing nothing. No leadership whatsoever. - Not innovative. Expect to be stuck doing maintenance. Expect passion projects to be killed abruptly. Won't further your career. - They reward sheep that follow orders. Not for out-of-the-box thinkers. - Good luck with your career trajectory if you're a woman.

Upper management has become increasingly heavy handed as the company's intense growth puts more burden on the bottom line. New leadership is much more interested in keeping the people above them happy then taking basic care of employees. Work-life balance has taken a huge downturn as company commitments take center stage. This means lots of decisions handed down from on-high and autonomy/input-power being taken away from the people actually building the product. Almost all senior roles and long-time employees have turned over within the past year. Leadership makes a big show of "listening" but hasn't show any actual response / change / action from what they're being told. Culture as a whole has taken a huge hit as the people who most actively worked to nurture the community got burnt out and left. Naturally things like diversity have taken a hit as there's less focus on making a welcoming, inclusive workplace, and things are increasingly siloed across teams.
