Roadtrip Nation Reviews

While the culture is amazing, it is immensely negated by the business side. The company has not been tech-first since its inception and, in recent years, have been diving into executing more tech-driven projects. There are a lot of from-the-gut decisions being made and it is hindering the potential of what the company can actually achieve. Projects are pushed to be finished with unreasonable timelines and no data to back up the "why" of it all. Fast deadlines are not a problem but forcing a mansion to be built with the same timeline as a two-bedroom apartment can be reckless and causes the quality of the products to be mediocre. With that, unfortunately raising the issues through the proper channels don't seem to do anything, even with the open culture. That isn't to say the managers don't understand, but there are powers at play that choose not to dig into the real issues.

Management is totally brain dead. Even though that makes work really easy, can be super tough to deal with when you actually need something done or adhered to. Most of my peers who have left, that's the balancing point for they're dealing with. How long can you handle how asinine the situation is they are with how chill the work load is. Turn over is rapid due to this. People who've been there for a long time are really strung out. That's hard to deal with. Random outbursts in meetings about how messed up everything is. There's some real pain and toxicity for people who still believe in the mission versus management who's still trying to milk this amazing unicorn (of just endless nonprofit funds for little to zero productivity). One of the most toxic work environments I've ever been in. Some days you feel like your head's going to fall off with their insanity, the next day you have off.
