Gore Mutual Reviews

This is by far the worst work culture I have seen in an organization (having worked 5+ different places), and I mean specifically the Data Engineering Team (other teams are cool). Project deadlines given by Director as grossly underestimated (or never estimated). The motto here is "let's move fast" which really means "let's do it wrong the first three times then scramble to fix it." The lack of planning up front means constant fire drills and weekend crunches. And before you ask - no, there's no overtime pay, no comp time, nothing. It's just expected. Burnout is the culture here. In terms of tech, No Standards, No Best Practices. Because "you gotta do it fast". 10 year old industry frameworks, which other organisations have already decomissioned is getting build here. The Director is great at making everything look fine outside while the team is drowning. So nothing ever gets fixed and the management never knows it. I just hope when Beneva takes over they clean up this mess.

Teams tend to operate in silos, which makes collaboration across functions challenging and slows progress on initiatives that require cross-department alignment.
