Bad management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great salary because of the equity

Cons

Management is very bad, I and others had issues with sexism, racism, you know name it. Little to no meritocracy and a lot of petty office politics The work-life balance is also awful and there's no hybrid/remote work except for rare exceptions for management, one of many double standards. No culture; the company is very cheap when it comes to ERGs or even basic amenities

Pays well, culture is archaic

Principal engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Focus and direction is fairly clear. CEO runs a tight ship, so company is sound.

Cons

Culture is very old-fashioned, not that of a traditional software company (if you're working in a software business unit). Very poor and frugal selection of tools for engineers. Example would be google spaces instead of slack.
