Ever since some key execs from Marketing and Product left the company several months ago, the company has been trending downward. Just a month ago we were boasting on Linkedin that we are still hiring despite the recent startup layoffs. Then boom, we laid off 30% of the team last week. Great planning by our leaders and blaming the team for their incompetence.
- New marketing announcement is a microcosm of the culture of the company - Talk loud with no results.
- Remaining leadership (many of them new hires or inadequately promoted) seem to have no clues and zero directions from them. Not very motivated working in the company when they just talk loud.
- There's no sales process or training compared to my previous company. It's our job to meet quota when there's zero enablement or process.
- Someone needs to replace the engineering team and their heads. Old product constantly has outage, and new products were delayed. What happens to accountability? The product that was planned was promising, but engineering was not able to deliver, which is demoralizing as a sales person. We are already missing revenue targets and this didn't help.
- HR adds zero values to the company other than more processes and micromanagement for everyone. The performance review process is a joke and a waste of time. Need to provide better benefits when the salary is already sub-par.
