GREAT IC's, TERRIBLE upper management

Textio Response
2yThanks for your time on the team. I disagree with many of the characterizations in your feedback, but the bottom line is that I'm sorry you didn't have a better experience leaving Textio.
I will note one thing about our promotion philosophy, because it is important in terms of our values. People at Textio earn promotions, including opportunities to move into management, by way of their on-the-job performance. It's not possible to "interview" for a promotion or a new management position that your day-to-day performance doesn't already make you eligible for. Far from undermining DEI, this is actually a critical pillar of the work; everyone on the team has the chance to shine in their day-to-day delivery, and people who do so are promoted. In fact, I've explicitly shared my guide to getting promoted with the entire company transparently, both in company meeting settings and in writing. And executives use that directly in making promotion decisions.
Best of luck finding a great next role.
