- Company values are BS and not implemented nor demonstrated by management in any credible way.
- The company claims to be inclusive, flat, and bottom-up, but it clearly has a shadow structure of people who are making top-down decisions.
- Sexism is prevalent.
- The Old Guard holds too much power and is unwilling to accept new ideas coming from others, e.g. new hires.
- The strategy is all over the place and completely devoid of focus.
- Code quality is alarmingly bad.
- Comp is a joke and has been an issue for ages.
