What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They simply need to talk about issues, openly.
Recognizing and firing toxic leaders that hire and promote incompetent managers or that engage in politics that slow the business down
Review from Product Dept
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.
Review from Engineering Dept
The culture used to be great until Q1 2019. Since Silverlake joined the board, the culture has deteriorated. Some software engineers work late nights and on weekends creating higher expectation for others. There is a culture of overwork. Also a high churn rate. Very discouraging.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I think the numbers (at least that I receive) at not at all competitive with market, and HR is insistent on making sure the exact bands remain a mystery to anyone already working here.
Review from Engineering Dept
Pay is competitive but not worth the long hours engineers have to work. Software engineers are overloaded. There is not enough room to learn.
Review from Engineering Dept
Disappointing raises based on percentages rather than changing market rate.
Review from Engineering Dept
I don’t, things are great
Review from Product Dept
Lower than market rate. Not based on merit.

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.
Review from Engineering Dept
Firing someone within first year of hire is a not because they were bad, it's because we failed to train and motivate them to perform. Try reducing churn rate. Managers must treat team with respect. They need to make sure the team members are not overworked. Different members have different capacity
Review from Engineering Dept
The lack of transparency about day to day or even quarterly decisions is very frustrating.

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.
