ShopStyle Reviews

- Revenue is going in the wrong direction (not fun to see management freak out) - 25% of company has gotten laid off or left in last 6 months - There is no transparency. There were multiple rounds of layoffs and management wouldn't say what was happening. This led to rumors galore. Also, when employees leave, there is a culture of being secretive about what new company they are joining. It's weird that everyone is so afraid to announce where they are going. - Absolute chaos - Every day is a fire drill. The founder is the biggest culprit. He pulls engineers from what they were working on to work on pet projects. - No process, so the loudest voice gets what they want - Culture - They did a survey about employee satisfaction and it wasn't pretty - It doesn't seem like the company really cares about employees. - Designers get chewed up and spit out

Complete disfunction at the executive management level. People on ShopStyle are generally disgruntled and/or planning on leaving now or as soon as they can. Horrendous misallocation of engineering resources. No concept of rapid employment with respect to product development and validation before dedicating tons of resources to building something customers don't want. In general a lack of customer focus. Everyone is underpaid relative to the market unless you were a founder or came to the company through acquisition.
