Terrible leadership running consulting firm giving out worthless equity - Software Engineer Foundry.ai Employee Review

Thank you for the candid feedback to consider as we continue to grow and shape our company. We are glad to hear that our benefits were a highlight of working at Foundry but saddened that your overall time on our team wasn’t what you had envisioned. We take the subjects you've raised seriously, especially equity and diversity in the workplace. As we continue to expand, we are intentional in our goal to improve our exposure to more diverse applicant pools. We have more work to do in that regard but are proud of the strides that we, as a company, have made in improving gender diversity and the growth of our POC team members. We’ve always aimed to create highly competitive compensation packages, and what we offer today has been thoughtfully crafted to provide both long and short-term value. It’s our philosophy that employees deserve stakes in the businesses they’re making, and we achieve this through equity. More fundamentally, we offer our employees equity because of how highly we value it. In fact, equity makes up the majority of our senior executives’ compensation packages. Developing the existing AI/ML-powered software solutions offered by Foundry and its operating companies is core to what we do. In addition to this, our unique business model enables us to selectively work with executives to target unaddressed business challenges and bring entirely new technology to bear. This part of the Foundry model, called ‘launch partnerships,’ often requires technical staff to iterate between code and the strategic problem that code is trying to solve. It's our goal to make this incredibly transparent in hiring to help grow a team that is excited to tackle both sides of the Foundry business model, including aspects somewhat similar to consulting. We’re thankful for your contributions to the team and wish you the very best of luck in your next role!
