Pros
Many people employed at Spliced are super nice individuals and highly skilled professionals - especially people on the ground, but also some of its leaders. We who left the company are grateful for the connections and friendships we made at Spliced.
Cons
A notable minority of individuals in leadership positions at Spliced have repeatedly demonstrated low levels of empathy and emotional intelligence in their interactions, leading to a toxic work environment for those unfortunate enough to be led by said individuals. Such behaviours have been reported across different teams, so they are not isolated incidents; they are enabled by the company's culture. Small misunderstandings that would normally be easy to resolve can unnecessarily turn into larger conflicts, as open dialogue is discouraged and the expression of honest feedback can often lead to severe repercussions. A lack of clarity and alignment in the guidance given by different directors can often create a political minefield that is dangerous to navigate. Doing your best work while being a good team player is not enough to succeed at Spliced; if you fail at appeasing the right people's egos, your job there can turn from dream to nightmare very fast.
