Honest Yieldbot Review

Pros

Casual working environment Some young + intelligent people working here Strong data + product team I don't regret working here because I learned a ton on startup, fast paced, revenue driven work environment - learned to hustle and be super competitive. Looking back, I'm glad I left at the state of the company.

Cons

Disorganized structure No feedback from management Lack of communication Taking on work way beyond your job description No concrete direction/plan of company moving forward Coming to work was super unpredictable. You can work really hard and help with revenue or in other areas of the business, but if you do not engage in work politics or are not hanging out with key people in the company, you will fail. Perhaps due to the casual environment, noticed that inappropriate/irrelevant comments (sexual, political, etc) will be mentioned in our all hands meeting, and it would be brushed aside because leadership mentioned it, so it makes it okay (when it's not). There's also this weird, catty behavior on Client Services team of gossiping about each other (did not engage with this). Also there's this expectation that people were supposed to be whizzes at the databases and products in such a short amount of time (chastised if wanted to improve or learn more about this). Let go a lot of really good people who added value to the company. Some were people who had good reviews and were never put on performance plan, yet were let go (makes no sense).

Located in Maynard which is a painful commute, but company is very distributed by nature and supports many remote workers.

Terrible Management Despite a Great Team

Pros

- great dev team - great data team - cutting edge tech being used and tested - some of the best dev mentors - really great team and culture initially before company scaled

Cons

- middle management lacks training of how to manage people. most managers are promoted solely due to tenure and are not provided with training or experience on how to best empower their team. - no HR making it impossible to be heard or have real issues handled thoughtfully, namely regarding sexual harassment. - management is blindly loyal to select employees. - hiring too fast, fires too slowly. - no product vision (more reactive to the market than proactive) or product roadmap
