Job&Talent reviews

The company is run very badly. The best developers are being laid off. It's very bad for your mental health. The individuals are awesome, though.

I don't even know where to start. What an absolute sh*t show. Spending one year at this company was the biggest step back in my career. I vividly remember one retro of my squad (about 16 people) where the most upvoted item was - and I quote - "This project is a step back in our career. We do not design, we do not develop, we cannot make any type of decision". Leadership has absolutely no clue how to build product and they take no responsibility either. It's always someone elses fault when a project goes wrong. Micromanagement everywhere, zero trust in tribes. And of course the C-Suite is protected like in a boys club. Speaking of which: No women in leader positions either. They fired the only one left that was - mind you - the most competent one. They found some BS reason to let her go because obviously she was way too smart to be there. The engineering department was run so terribly bad that one engineer after the other left. In 2024 alone there have been 3-4 layoffs or so. But they're not communicated as layoffs either, they are justified as cleaning out the poor performers. I could go on about how I spent my whole days in pointless meetings, never shipped anything meaningful and much more...But if you read this far and still consider working for this company then I would consider checking in to a mental hospital or something For the record: I quit by myself but I wish I was laid off to collect a severance.
