Nice people Good benefits Decent pay Fun work

The leadership team is rough. I was excited to work for a majority woman leadership team, but it is clear they have no idea what they are doing. Heavy tech debt and sketchy product. No plans to fix it. They fire people who bring up questions or concerns. I has happened repeatedly over the past few years. Leadership just goes on LinkedIn and brags about how well things are going or how well they are doing. Not a good luck with all of the layoffs, turnover and lack of salary increases. Look at the most recent reviews and you will notice a theme. So many people who have been promoted above their ability and are threatened by anyone somewhat competent. My boss was awful and a micromanager for all levels. There was no trust. Even for people with 10+ years of experience. Lots of backstabbing and bs. I just want to work and get things done. It’s all politics. The less you know, the more apt you are to get promoted. Lots of US turnover and layoffs. I worked with some great people, so this is a hard review to write.
