      Talented engineers crippled by poor management practices

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Ability to work with some of the most talented engineers I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

      Cons

      "Cargo cult" management; some of THE worst management I've ever had the displeasure of working for. They implement policies and procedures simply by copying other successful tech firms without understanding in the slightest WHY those policies work for them. Management also actively actively, daily, overstep their boundaries and make engineering work 10x more difficult than it needs be. In simple terms - management does not trust their own teams and would rather in-fight than work together to build a successful, long-term product ecosystem.

      Great Product Concepts Ruined by Rushed Launches, Toxic Leadership, and No Engineering Capability

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The product and the product problems the company is trying to solve/fix are genuinely interesting, and the peer-level engineering team is full of fantastic, talented people. Pets in the office is also a nice perk.

      Cons

      Buzzword Innovation: The company wants to lean into software and the AI wave but has no idea what that actually means. Engineering leadership has mistaken using AI chatbots for actual technical innovation and thinks that constitutes building "AI-first products." Detached & Toxic Leadership: Direct management doesn't understand what their technical teams actually do. Leadership & software architecture is also highly toxic, frequently talking down to engineers and dismissing their work. Bloated Management Ratio: Following massive layoffs at the beginning of this year and the frequent high turnover, the engineering team has been reduced to a skeleton crew. Instead of backfilling individual contributors, the company feels it's better off hiring executives, leaving a completely bloated manager-to-IC ratio. Carrot-Dangling & Retaliation: Career growth and compensation are a game of constant carrot-dangling. Leadership claims they want feedback, but honest feedback is met with retaliation or issues being swept under the rug.
