      High autonomy, real hierarchy access, occasional noise - Senior Software Engineer Make Employee Review

      Pros

      Given turbulent times and AI, I think Make is a good place to be. It has a bold vision, dares to experiment (and admit failure). There is surprisingly - for a company of this size - high space for self-realisation and an easy-to-traverse hierarchy (need confirmation/consultation of my initiative from a VP? It usually takes up to a few days). There are honest attempts to learn from mistakes and keep the engineering level high. People are also friendly and easygoing.

      Cons

      Nothing Make related. The eventual frictions come from the fact that Make has a few hundred people, which brings internal communication issues followed by people not reading internal communication, misunderstandings, etc. I personally don't think this can be fully compensated for, but not fully eliminated either. Make could certainly improve internal communication from leadership towards the company.

      Pros

      Good coworkers and company trip

      Cons

      Every department is siloed. Leadership strategy changes weekly. Marketing and product leadership focus only on improving vanity metrics. High micromanagement. Executive team blames AI on every problem in the company and how employees are too slow and need to adapt. Leadership asks for "radical candor" feedback and never applies any of it. Internal movement opportunities are weak. Other reviews about changing culture are accurate.
