- Many senior leaders have stayed in the same roles for years. While they talk about change, it’s hard to expect real transformation from people who have grown too comfortable. The result? Insecurity, politics, risk aversion, and a lack of real ownership. Instead of leading by example, they set unrealistic expectations without putting enough skin in the game themselves.
- Favoritism is alive and well here, especially towards long-timers. It’s been called out repeatedly in internal surveys but somehow always gets brushed under the rug.
- This is not a place for independent thinkers or people who genuinely want to make things better.
- There’s a noticeable divide between the “old guard” and newcomers. New hires often feel like they’re just brought in to do the dirty work without much real support. It’s no surprise most leave within 1-3 years, they simply don’t feel like they belong.
- Compensation (benefits, bonuses, and stock) falls short compared to other tech companies.
- Worse yet, the way they handle exits is disappointing. There’s no decent severance package, and instead, people are often nudged out by making their work-life unbearable, just to avoid paying them properly.
