Pros
- remote - great pay - talented, collaborative employees - interesting product - prior to layoffs, compensation and benefits were great
Kontras
- Scott Gallaway was verbally abusive to employees in internal meetings and in front of hundreds of customers. Management refused to address it in a timely and appropriate manner. That led many employees to lose respect for upper management. - The CEO/mgmt decided to pivot the product several times within a short amount of time (like 2 pivots within 6 months). The CEO didn't seem to use a lot of data to make decisions. He said once or twice in All Hands meetings that he made company-wide decisions based on his ideas/thoughts/feelings, not data. We definitely could tell. Hearing it admitted in All Hands meetings made us lose further trust in the CEO's abilities. - We also saw that the sprints taught one thing and leadership did something else. Why teach strategies you don't believe in using? - Multiple layoffs (including laying off the entire HR team) - Customer-facing team members were cut (for a product that was heavily customer-focused) - CEO brags on LinkedIn about how he's cutting full-time employees to replace with contractors - Customer-facing DEI efforts mostly led by white men who showed their bias frequently.
