It pretends to be a tech company with all of the bells and whistles most tech companies offer their employees, unfortunately, it fails on the most important factors - EDI, job security and autonomy.
What started off as a cool idea has soon descended into complete and utter chaos. Since the company has laid off large numbers of the team, the founders have stepped in and decided that they need to "go back to" a time when they somehow micromanaged every decision and were involved in every meeting. I don't know why they think this is a good idea.
I'm also not sure what has happened in this time since "then", because they are making life untenable for every employee and don't seem to be the right people to lead these teams. The reasons for the layoffs seem to be particularly opaque and the whole company is talking about who is next. The CEO had an all-hands explaining to us that no one has any job security and we should all be happy to work at such an exciting company. They have no idea how to run a company or engage their teams to perform. I will be moving on imminently and most of my team feels the same. This is 100% not worth the stresses we go through for the benefits we get in return.
There are some managers who are actually realy supportive and I feel bad for them posting this, but honestly it's getting so bad here I can't imagine them sticking around for much longer.
