Sifted Reviews

There has been a lot of turnover at Veriship/Sifted in the last 2+ years. The ones who left were the ones who created the culture that used to exist here (open, collaborative, supportive, eager to spread knowledge). When they left they took the ideas and leadership they had with them. The ones who were promoted to their positions have done a poor job of filling in their shoes. Developers promoted to lead positions and other higher positions are not technically skilled enough to make good decisions and don't have the leadership skills to lead others. Some leads are abusive to their junior devs (bullying, cursing at them, etc.), creating an awkward working environment. Leadership that has recently come in with the Veriship/Sifted merger also struggle to be effective leaders. They do not encourage collaboration and haven't helped fill the leadership vacuum that exists. Under them, work is not well planned and developers are compelled into working overtime in order to meet artificial deadlines. Sifted is not a "leave work at work" workplace.

The upper management is sketchy. They have their favorites, and decide to lay people off whenever they feel it fits them. Even though I understand some circumstances, this company seems as though it may be going downhill very very fast.
