Pros
- Good mid level management - Have good perks
Cons
- Micro Management is a keyword in fivetran. Leadership want to check everything that an engineer is doing. they are more worries about measurements instead of value addition. - There are multiple processes introduced which doesnt make any sense, no one is able to provide a valid justification but still everyone is forced to follow them. - Innovation is killed in the name of Data driven. Senior leadership has forgotten the full form of POC. before POC they wants the implementation plan. my super boss and above actually asked for it. - Their idea of gathering data is to micromanage and not make decisions. Senior leadership is not worried about the problems and challenges at ground level. they just want to ensure that the data is looking good. they are OK if its artificially generated. - Often times senior leadership behaves likes dictator and would ensure that decisions are forced on IC and Managers. they dont bother about informing them before publishing publicly - Fivetran has become a place of micro management, we have heard of giving freedom in work. here leadership even teach people how to write a slack message. they even want us to control how to talk, how to greet, how to think, how to not think. I am not able to think about anything that they dont want to manage. - Leadership wants to measure the happiness of people using just a survey, nothing has changed in the organization but since the surveys are becoming too regular on top of that leadership forces people to fill them, Employees just fill it for the sake of not bugging them. Leadership considers that as a good thing and celebrate it.
