Poorly run management - Anonymous employee inVia Robotics Employee Review

With the exception of one person, management does not have any fundamental management skills. Greeting any staff in the office, inviting coworkers out to lunch, or building team culture / rapport is virtually non-existent. Every person is just another number on the books. There's also a very unconventional procedure about stock options that is "on a case by case basis, and needs to be approved by your direct manager". More than anything though, management were heard saying that a hiree got the technical job because they were a "unicorn" as "a hot chick in tech".
