Management, and leadership in general, needs serious training. It's almost as if the CEO hired all his buddies and made them executives of the company without any prior leadership experience. There's a lot of talk about diversity and inclusion, but take one look at the senior leadership team and decide for yourself if it looks diverse/inclusive. Not a lot of career advancement opportunities, most upper-level management roles are outside hires who are set up to fail from day 1. It's a complex company and no continued management training is provided to help them succeed. They throw around buzz words like "great culture" and "creative freedom" but that's not true at all. Everyone works in silos, leadership is clueless, and ideas/work flow are constantly stifled and shot down. Everything is overcomplicated and a deck/presentation has to be made for every little thought you have that there's hardly any time to actually work. There's also no oversight of department spends or budgets, it's a mess. The cherry on top is the ~$500K spend on a company wide retreat and then just two months later 20% of the company gets laid off. Save yourself the headache and job security worries and apply elsewhere.

Poor leadership. Those who ran the company in the ground kept their jobs while others lost theirs. They use we are a startup constantly as a reason for the constant mistakes and failures but at some point you need to own up to the fact that your leadership is to blame. Don’t be fooled by their positive google rating. They pay people to remove their negative reviews. This company won’t be around long so don’t waste your time. The only reason they are even still around now is they are continuing to outsource all non-customer facing roles to India because of the cheap labor and number of hours they will work each day.
