2019: hypergrowth, 2020: something more sane, hopefully - Senior Manager Automation Anywhere Employee Review

- 2019 was chaos. The company wasn't ready to grow as fast as it tried to grow. Broken and understaffed IT, finance, HR, operations, facilities, and corporate teams really struggled. - Tenured leaders, including one or more of the founders, continue to resist change and hold the company back from achieving true greatness. Too much nepotism, cronyism, favoritism, and "that's not the way we've always done it"-ism. - The growth in equity value will be hard to sustain, so new joiners may not be able to benefit so much from options. Maybe it is time for a different solution. - Some terrible hiring decisions also happened in 2019. Already seeing higher turnover and destructive departures as a result.
