Constructive Feedback From Discogs Employees

  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Everything. They're terrible strategists, terrible managers, terrible decision makers. The spend company money on themselves and don't respect the employees or listen to their feedback. Basically they're pretty clueless and the website and it's incredible community are suffering as a direct result.
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    Completely new leadership team. They are literally ruining the company and everyone below them talks about it all the time and nothing ever changes.
  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    Knowing more about why they wanted to hire someone (yes, they didn't have a strong answer to that).
