Thought it would be a dream job, but the exec team quickly changed that

Pros

Some people genuinely care about making a change

Cons

Hypocrite management. Zero empathy towards employees. They will treat you like trash once they have exhausted you. Read the old reviews, for your sake. STAY AWAY from Grindr. I've seen evil companies, but this is unprecedented.

Pros

Amazing, thoughtful coworkers (and middle management!) who work to maintain a culture of kindness, respect and queer joy, while producing high-quality work.

Cons

It has gotten scary here! - Deeply out of touch C-suite, who came in when the company was THRIVING to take us public, and then promptly and systematically destroyed the things that MADE us thrive. - A CEO with a public track record of donating to anti-trans politicians (???), and complete inability to listen to (and lack of interest in) employees. He most recently made the choice to hire a notorious union-busting law firm instead of recognizing his workers’ right to organize. - CEO/CFO have fired well-liked, top performers over and over, leaving projects without leaders and the company understaffed - just to avoid any dissenting opinions. - Our entire HR department has quit in light of this - leaving us all with no recourse or support whatsoever. - Finally, after being a remote company for years, since before the pandemic and long before he joined the company, the CEO announced via a zoom call that we would no longer be remote. He told us that folks would have TWO weeks to make the decision to make cross-country moves if they wanted to keep their jobs. He immediately cut the call, and he (and all of C-Suite) refused to engage with concerned employees.
