Good people, Mediocre Leadership - Software Engineer Rōnin Employee Review

Nice and good would recommend

I don’t remember if they have

* Almost everyone at Ronin is fantastic - there are so many talented people and they are wonderful to work with. I loved (almost) everyone. * The mission is so compelling.

* There is one senior leader who always thinks they know better than the experts who work under them and actually know more / have more experience. * You don't want to get on this leader's bad side - they can turn leadership against you * There's now a culture of fear - people in that leader's org don't want to disagree with that person for fear of retaliation * Multiple people have gone to HR about it, but have not felt *at all* supported. The CEO seems to love this senior leader so I can't see how this is going to change. * Multiple people have left at least in part because of this leader * Leadership only ever tells you that everything is going great * Although execs at major hospitals are excited by Ronin's vision, the actual clinicians using the product aren't finding it valuable (yet?) Full disclosure - I was laid off along with several others, for financial reasons. So they might say that the negative reviews are from disgruntled employees who were laid off. I already knew that Ronin was not the place for me before the layoffs for all of the reasons I laid out. The layoffs came totally out of the blue, because, as I said, they had previously told us that everything is great and that funding wasn't an issue. The severance was joke.
