I really want to enjoy working at GoodRx. It's a good product and a culture of respect. But the baseline competence level in the engineering org is just really low.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

GoodRx's unlimited PTO is really and really nice.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The engineering organization is just a mess. Decisions are made haphazardly and then reversed. There's no consistency. Executives try to act like architects, while architects are all AWOL. Every decision is a political battle.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Engineering culture at GoodRx needs a massive overhaul. The main components I would recommend are: 1. Eliminate waterfall-type development methods, particularly 'inceptions' 2. Give teams real autonomy. Right now every team is strangled by executive meddling and stakeholder overload.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Engineering leadership at GoodRx really just... doesn't know what they are doing. Decision making is chaotic. Executives are constantly micromanaging. Nothing ever gets done. My advice for the execs: step back. Your job is hiring people and building culture, not building software.
