Observe (CA) Reviews

- Toxic micromanagement - Ego driven bureaucracy, only “yes men” will survive - Leadership assumes the worst out of their employees and spend the bulk of their time trying to affirm that assumption - Executive objectives get obscured in middle management leaving individual contributors constantly chasing vanity metrics and management trying to blame ICs for their inability to execute objectives - Enablement seeks to make new hires feel dumb instead of uplifting them. New hires are scared to speak in enablement sessions leaving a lot of questions being met with muted Zooms and when someone steps up to fill the awkward silence they are told that while they were 90% right, that 10% makes them completely wrong. - Sales people are treated like entry level SDRs: focus on vanity metrics and let leadership run your deal for you - There is no enterprise sales motion, this is mid market, SMB style of selling which makes it impossible to move up market.

There is no strategy or clarity as we only ever solved the problem of today without thinking about tomorrow. Everything looks shiny on the surface (the product, the culture, etc) but if you look under the cover you will find a half baked product and a general disregard for the people that work there. On top of that I believe that the market for observability has moved past the product.
