Seattle's Premier Fear-based Leadership on full display - Anonymous employee Amperity Employee Review

- Look at facts. You can find a large group of people who were "formerly with Amperity". Start-up environments are hard, yes. But toxic environments leave people laying in its wake. - Crazy political for such a small sized company. Hard to get work done out of fear you disagree with the executive management team or founders. - Evidence of fear is seen routinely both in operational meetings, and firings/voluntary "departures" of many staff (both senior and junior) throughout the 2019/2020 year. - On workplace culture, look no further than the public facts of their glassdoor reviews. Before more truthful reviews started appearing in 2020, look at all the 5-star reviews before it. 6 of those came before the major headcount hiring in 2018, and are likely founders or very early employees. No reviews in 2018 whatsoever (lots of key departures, both voluntary and involuntary). 3 reviews in late 2019. Only one "5.0" review in a 23 month period, during the company's growing pains. People are afraid to share. - It's hard to do meaningful work when you're worried about the inter-office political ramifications of your contributions.
