Great product, incompetent managers

Pros

Remote working so it's very flexible. The product is great. Some very smart and creative people work there.

Cons

Unfortunately there is very incompetent managers in high positions that have no idea what they are doing. Individuals are promoted that are very incompetent leaders and remain in the jobs. The goals are constantly changing and targets are shifted without explanations. Toxic work environment with little transparency and collaboration. I think it depends on the team, some managers I heard are great but unfortunately some are incredibly incompetent.

Pros

Top tier salary and benefits. They seemed to genuinely care about their staff. The product is good.

Cons

A mountain of tech debt that was never paid off. Top management seemed incapable of comprehending the nature of the problem, Some technical processes relied entirely on one or two long-time employees. Management were frightened to offend these 'linchpins', or disrupt the chain of command, so potential solutions got vetoed or ignored.

Thank you for sharing your experience. As with many rapidly growing companies, Workato has faced the challenge of scaling systems and processes that were originally designed for an earlier stage of growth. We recognize that tech debt is a reality in any fast-growing company, and addressing it effectively requires both technical and organizational maturity. The SRE team was relatively new at the time, and we acknowledge there were initial challenges in defining its role and influence. Since then, we have made significant adjustments to improve transparency in decision-making, ensuring that necessary improvements can be implemented without unnecessary roadblocks. Over the past two years, we have introduced more structured frameworks and best practices that have led to meaningful improvements in our tooling and platform capabilities. We value the contributions of every team member, including long-standing employees who have deep institutional knowledge. At the same time, we have taken steps to ensure that critical processes do not depend solely on a few individuals by fostering a more open, collaborative, and scalable approach to system management. While no company is without its growing pains, we remain committed to continuous improvement, and we appreciate feedback that helps us refine our approach. Thank you again for your insights, and we wish you the best in your future endeavors. - Hans Gustavson, CISO
