Highly temperamental CEO who would yell at employees and lower morale; her way is the only way. My second month on the job, five of my coworkers complained about her leadership bitterly.
They’ve been in beta for over 4(?) years now, with no pricing model on the website AFAIK - their market exclusively catered to the 1% of society in first-world countries.
Some people work 60-70 hour work weeks while others a mere 40-45
A ton of toxic work politics - my coworkers were constantly telling each other how important it was to “have a shield” i.e. a manager who would stick up for them to leadership strife
Poor management and leadership - in the Portland office, management is either micro-managerial or completely hands-off with little genuine care for individual development.
No clear reason why people get promoted - no transparency or visibility.
Burnout is very real at this company - during interviews I was told there was no turnover but after I joined I found that at least one person LEFT every single month I was there.
The unlimited vacation rule is just a financial/tax loophole for the company to save money - employees are encouraged to NOT take vacation or rest.
