Toxic Waste - Do Not Enter!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

- daily catered food - snacks and stocked kitchen - innovative and disruptive product (if you can get someone to teach it to you/demo it 'properly'; all the reps have 'their own way') - some truly great individual contributors work for this org (like me, one of the unlucky ones suckered into this company)

Cons

- everything you'd want in a company where you can grow is absent (leadership, direction, integrity, hard work, opportunity, recognition, feedback) - executive leadership cannot align, creating havoc for everyone under the C-level/VP "leadership" (or lack thereof) - literally no one knows what they're doing (from the Top to the Bottom); you'll find a lot of people with flashy titles, but no one who can actually do their title - Can't seem to get away from the Summer Riff of 2016. Seems like this company has a "riff" every year - PEOPLE ARE RUNNING AWAY! - BS titles, quotas and sales revenue numbers - toxic culture (sexual harassment complaints fall on deaf ears at various levels - Manager, Director, and VP)

Thank you for your feedback. In the last six months, we’ve made some sweeping changes throughout the organization, including a change in leadership and rebrand from Interana to Scuba Analytics. We've made a lot of changes since then. We’d like to note that prior employee reviews do not reflect the current state of Scuba. Our number one job is to build a strong culture of transparency, compassion, and trust to build an amazing company. As we continue to grow and evolve, we’re excited about the future at Scuba and expanding our team to scale with customer demand. We are grateful for all the great work the founding team accomplished, which has enabled us to reach our current growth milestone. Since becoming CEO in August 2021, I am very excited to lead the company to its next phase and have taken all the reviews under consideration as we move forward. -Tony Ayaz, CEO

Choose wisely: some amazing individuals, but overall direction seems dire

Pros

There have been several departures that have elicited fairly angry responses, but in all fairness, Interana has a technological advantage, with several amazing teams, and is overall staffed by some great people. It could definitely be much worse. - Competitive Starting Salaries - they need really brilliant people and will pay for them. - A real, fully-fledged product that is technologically interesting and seems to have real, committed customers. Financials seem like they are on the upswing. Occupies an interesting niche in Behavior Analytics space, and the technology alone will ensure this company won't go unsold. - Some teams are functioning well, like customer operations and dev ops. If you end up on these teams, your life is likely to be decent and you can ignore other stuff going on in the company. Make sure to find out more about your team before you decide to join. - Even dysfunctional teams contain really amazing people to work with. I seriously doubt anyone here is intentionally trying to destroy the company, and I think people at least pretend that they are doing things for the benefits for the company as a whole. I had some amazing friends and these connections will last far into the future no matter what ends up happening here. - Generally speaking, work/life balance is good and flexible - working weird hours and taking days off are generally tolerated (people will judge, however)

Cons

Interana's current problems have to do with a dysfunctional senior team that has helped cultivate a culture away from the values that the company originally stood for: transparency, humility, and respect for one another. Culture of Hype: senior management constantly emphasizes how well we are doing, and how amazing our product is, how their stellar previous experience shows us that we should pursue direction xxx... tldr, attempts to use hype to motivate people while praying to the gods of Hype that people will forget about all the problems. CEO does not address any real problems and avoids talking about negative cultural surveys. - A flipside of this is that anyone who disagrees with the hype is often labeled as negative and toxic, and difficult to work with. Fall in line - or you are out. The need for consensus (or the need to appear that we are doing well) is too strong and forces out any competing opinions. A case of Favoritism: Power is derived from personal connection here - are you close with the founders? Then you can ignore almost everyone else and do whatever you want. The difference between people who "matter" and those who do not is huge. This is true for the senior management team as well as in the lowlands. TLDR: be ready to play in a game of thrones, or at least be ready to find powerful allies that can protect and advocate for you. Lack of career growth: - No clear salary/career advancement, unfair/inconsistent evaluation across the board, leading to a lack of individual development and a general feeling of underappreciation. - The company isn't growing, so there just isn't any room to make massive jumps. (Unless you can pull the right strings). - You are likely to be hired to fill some role, but unless you take it upon yourself to make it happen (through the political game), you are likely to be stuck in whatever you started doing for a long time.

Intera - Naaaaaaah.

Pros

Met some really talented, experienced people. Competitive salary. Free (but gross) food.

Cons

Never fully understood the product. No demos. Nothing to see. Ask anyone at the company to explain the product, and you will get vastly different answers. A general atmosphere of confusion about the product, the direction of the company, and frequent changes in management and staff. Turnaround was high. Vague (or no) answers to simple questions. A nightmare getting necessary credentials and equipment. A somewhat toxic mix of contractors and full time employees that just wasn't conducive to getting anything done - nobody was on the same page, on any team. I've also heard that management talks down to employees - name calling, shouting, etc. This is obviously not OK, in any work environment. Interana feels directionless - there is no clear goal to chase, or clear path to advance. It's all muddled and stagnant and occupied by a seemingly indifferent team of managers. If you're looking for a work environment you believe in, pass on this one. If you don't care about personal or professional growth, jump on board (you'll get daily food in plastic, shrink wrapped trays). Ugh.
