Senior management has created a psychologically unsafe working environment. There has been significant personnel loss to the design team.
Despite repeated and continuous complaints and ideas for solutions from current and former employees, senior leadership appears to show no signs of acknowledging or addressing the massive retention problem and the problematic speech and policies that come from the top down.
Senior leadership is content to wait for seasoned employees to leave by treating them in increasingly hostile ways, and then replace those folks with outside hires. Expect the goal posts to be moved many, many times over the course of your career. There is no way to tell if your performance will result in success or failure, as decisions to let folks go seem to be made on a whim and never communicated to the rest of the team.
Don't expect open lines of communication or any sort of transparency from leadership. Expect to be ground down, and replaced once you're exhausted.
Especially if you're a member of a marginalized group -- prepare yourself to withstand improper treatment. You will receive zero support from HR. The company is convinced that because they have a "no egos" hiring credo, that implementing actual policy is unnecessary.
Unless you're a director-level person ready to put in the time and effort to turn this culture around, or you're someone who's content to put their head down and pump out mocks, understand that you're walking into an environment where the gossip mill is spinning out of control and morale is at an all-time low.
Besides, any other comparable tech company in the area pays 30-50% more than the base salary you will receive here.
