Disappointing experience with poor leadership and burnout
Pros
At first, I was extremely impressed with Graphite and how they conducted their business. They seemed intentional, ready to invest in their people, and welcoming. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that their style of leadership and management was a fend-for-yourself mentality, and their promises of help and training were never followed through on. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. The people are nice, and I made some good connections working here, but if they continue to burn out their team members, they will have tons of turnover.
Cons
- no work-life balance (even with “unlimited PTO”, you are constantly worrying about work and the stress of the workload. - leadership that plays favorites and doesn’t communicate - constantly told to meet standards but told to not work overtime. Ended up working 50 hours a week for months.
