Micromanagment and Poor WLB :(

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pre-IPO company, so stock growth expected. New hires get paid well. Interesting problem space, with smart leaders in the field.

Cons

Micromanagement all the way from the top down. This starts from the CEO and trickles down the management chain. Company and management is dismissive of WLB concerns.
