Cluster B / Narcissistic Leadership

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

There are some great people here that truly make an impact. Pay is decent and benefits are ok, nothing spectacular but acceptable.

Cons

There are some seriously evil people here, and they managed to weasel themselves into senior leadership roles. There are some serious, undiagnosed personality disorders at play (referred to as Cluster B in psychology) and unless you know what to look out for, you'll fall into believing it's you that is wrong. Mentally healthy individuals don't behave this way, but since they have been put in charge by the founders, you won't stand a chance unless you are one of them. You need to document any problematic behavior but don't report it to HR or others that have any position of authority over people matters (or are friends of them), lest you will find yourself quickly let go. The business model is suspect at best, it's a one-time purchase for most customers but they try to force a licensing model that most customer don't want.

Pros

- Good compensation. - There are some really smart people who work there.

Cons

- Good luck fitting in if you're not part of the nerdy elite or haven't been there for 6 years. Incredibly cliquey, and nearly impossible to break in. It's like one giant inside joke that you're not in on. - Co-founders have no idea how to run a business. They have no business acumen and no executive presence whatsoever. That company would fall apart if it weren't for their supporting cast. - They sell people's personal information. The business model is sketchy at best. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical. - Zero career development. After multiple conversations with executives about building out departmental career paths, it never happened. - Far too much job role specialization and approval layers for a company of that size. Everything is over-engineered. I wouldn't be shocked if they were still running 2-hour RASCI sessions to figure out which 5 people needed to be informed when a social media post is about to be edited. - People brag about working over the weekend as if it's a badge of honor to not have work/life balance. Sorry to break it to you, but there's a lot more to life than selling people's personal information to large corporations.

Pros

WFH office expenses, health care

Cons

Leadership is all privileged San Francisco buddies that have no concept of how to run a business. Diversity is non-existent and anyone that brings it up faces backlash from above. Sexual harassment runs rampant like an episode of a Mad Men.
