What a disappointment!

Pros

Free lunch and some people depending on the office are somewhat helpful

Cons

It has become comical to watch how this company operates internally. Family culture is disappearing fast and has become all about the ego-driven manager and after all, layoffs can occur at any time. Poor management No human resources onsite. The company culture is very forced.

Dear teammate, Thank you for your candid feedback. It took me some time to respond, as I felt the needs to really reflect on this together with the management team members. I agree with you that as our teams grew, especially with most of the growth happened during the pandemic, we lost some our family culture that is so important and so true to our roots. As the founder and CEO, I bear the most responsibility on that. If you are still part of the team, I hope you’ve seen positive changes lately. I also know that even when we are committed to change, change can’t doesn’t happen overnight. So please reach out to me (you know how) anytime with suggestions, ideas, or simply just raising concerns. I’m all hears. Sincerely, Fang

Pros

Product had potential There were some good people, but most were let go in the mass layoff

Cons

- Leaders do not foster growth or support employees. Some of the worst micro management I've seen in my career. While I was told I was doing a good job, the reminders to stay in my swim lane and the regular critiquing of specific wording in emails, jira tickets and presentations showed a lack of trust in me. Although I am very experienced in tech, I often felt I was treated like an entry level employee. -Poor culture. Lots of silos. People at Linc don't root for each other. It's every person for themselves. Occasionally, leadership seemed to be receptive when I shared concerns, but most interactions with management were abrasive and short, which did not set the collaborative or supportive tone that I expect in a professional workplace. -Linc lacks a clear customer and growth strategy. It was difficult to grow accounts because I felt unsupported. There was no clear focus. Product Management, Analytics, and Engineering put up barriers at every turn. Meetings scheduled with the product team were declined with no explanation. Internal collaboration at Linc is nearly non-existent. In addition, the executive team does not seem aligned on a vision or growth strategy. Linc used a disproportionate amount of resources to save a very small, high demand client with no strategic growth opportunity, while large enterprise clients walked out the door. Also, the high employee turnover throughout the company did not instill confidence and speaks to Linc’s lack of a comprehensive customer and employee centered vision. Right before the Holiday, Linc laid off over 60% of its workforce, and frankly they kept many of the employees that made working there a less than pleasant experience. This company isn't going to make it.

Dear former teammate, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I've reviewed every word of it. I agree with your feedback on silos existed within our business. For a long time, we were proud of our family-like culture. However, as the majority of the team growth happened during the pandemic and in a largely remote setting, we have definitely been experiencing growing pains in maintaining that family-like environment. As the founder & CEO, I carry the most responsibility of that. The recent re-organization was a very difficult but necessary step to address these challenges. We knew that we had to break down those silos and optimize our business fundamentals. I know that you are not here to witness the changes we are driving. But if I could share just a few words, it’s have to say that it is truly amazing to see the transformation. Everyday I'm touched and energized by being part of this team of truly talented individuals. With silos being broken, business operations becoming simplified, our teammates become more than talented professionals, they become problem solvers, leaders, and I’m learning from the team every single day. So thank you again for being part of our growth journey. I know you have worked hard here and gave it all. Myself and team are heads down focused. We are committed to nothing but a success that you one day would be proud to say, “I was part of Linc”. Sincerely, Fang
