Pros
I believe some of Tinder software engineers are very bright and smart people. Unfortunately upper management doesn't want to listen to them. They come to me with amazing ideas, but when I pass it further up the management chain, they either got rejected or management claims them as their own.
Cons
My main issue with Tinder company culture is that they never listen to their employees. It seems like initiative always come from the above, while I know for a fact that some of our software engineers and data analysts have brilliant ideas and sometimes they're months ahead of our top management. Seems like the ego of top management prevents company to adopt any new ideas. This is especially damaging during COVID-19. Our competitors did better job on fighting bots and create safe environment for people to interact. Also I think the company has lack of transparency - since not many people are aware of financial situation within the company.
