Upper leadership has no idea what they are doing - VP of Engineering Match Group Employee Review

-Great people and culture -Great offices, perks, free food, always having office events and pop ups -Great benefits (strong 401k match, no medical premium for employee PPO) -Great tech stack, lots of embracing experimentation/AI/ways to be more efficient -Great CEO and strategic direction of the company

-Opportunity for standardizing processes (lots of variation among Match Group brands, and surprisingly not a lot of infrastructure for things you would expect to be built out) -Opportunity for consistent OKRs/goal setting vs. done within brands in silos so there are clear priorities and who is doing what -Sometimes feels Slack heavy / chaotic

Leadership has articulated a clear, motivating vision for the company’s future. At the Match Group level, the breadth of brands you can collaborate with and learn from makes the work feel meaningful and impactful. Being part of the “human connection” space is genuinely exciting, and MG is at the forefront of where the industry is headed. Overall, the people are fantastic: supportive, collaborative, and largely energized by the work they do.

Collaboration across teams and brands has room to improve, particularly in creating space for new perspectives and willingness to work together. In some cases, seasoned mid-level management can be less welcoming or supportive of new team members and alternative approaches to how work has traditionally been done.
