1. leadership lacking diversity and the company does not see diversity as a strategic priority
2. company not great at supporting individual mental health or work-life boundaries. You are expected to have slack notifications on your phone and respond to messages within a set time period. You are also expected to use your personal sim card and social media accounts for work. Colleagues routinely work when sick and when on holiday.
3. managers not empowered and squads and hierarchies limit the flow of ideas, feedback and communication
4. salary is low and there is little space for progression. There is no transparency when it comes to salary and a lot of secrecy over who is paid what. There is no data recording or reporting on the gender pay gap.
5. product and company direction is unclear, it isn't a customer-focused culture and founders are not transparent about decisions or strategy
6. little empathy for employees in different situations during the Covid19 pandemic and lockdowns
7. development of new features is slow so improving the app is a slow process and customer trust is lost in the meantime
