Communication is strictly one-sided. Leadership from Operations to Sales lacks accountability, often resorting to aggressive, top-down mandates. There is visible favoritism regarding promotions and workload distribution, while the broader team faces unrealistic demands.
Leadership frequently enforces product directions that are fundamentally flawed. Despite team pushback, we are forced to execute on these ideas, only for the work to be scrapped later. This has led to significant product failures.
There is no transparent structure for career advancement. The "performance review" cycle feels performative, with raises capped at 3% regardless of contribution. This does not keep up with inflation or the increasing workload.
Job security is non-existent. We have endured three rounds of layoffs in the past 2.5 years. Most recently, on September 26, 2025, the company laid off 43% of the staff.
The environment has deteriorated significantly over the last 2 years. Remote work has been revoked, and "Unlimited PTO" is effectively capped at two weeks.
Engineering is severely under-resourced, making it impossible to build a quality product.
