Great culture, needs stronger leadership - Senior Software Engineer Direct Commerce Employee Review

lots of work. cool people.

California HQ. filler words here.

Remote work and some very good people are still there. Pay is decent and unlimited PTO is a plus until you get laid off.

New President and CTO are just horrible to work for. The company went from the collaborative amazing culture to one of micro management overnight. Initiative is now met with scolding and eventual termination. Employees that built the company and know it's customers needs are completely ignored and given no input on the future product. While friends (who all fit a very specific profile) are put in charge on day 1. CEO seems nice, tells you how valuable you are to the company, promises raises, and gives stock options to retain employees, then lays them off 4 months later, This happened to a group of older, tenured employees.
