It started off fun and scrappy but the product never got stable, and we kept pushing sales to sell it, and it's just been a mess for the last 6 months. Stressful, unsustainable, toxic, chaotic.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The people I work with are all super smart, hardworking, and dedicated.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need leadership training. Especially at the team lead level. Hanlon's Razor, Peter Principle, you name it.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The only good thing about it is the other people. The leadership is so toxic, everyone is burned out and miserable. People are afraid Slack is being monitored so they all text each other now. It's a mess.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The "unlimited vacation" comes with a catch: you can't actually use it, you have to be always-on. My manager was slacking me when I told him I was unavailable because I was in the Urgent Care clinic. That's just unacceptable.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
It's been a year and the software doesn't work. Sales is overstaffed, all other departments are understaffed. Everyone is beyond burned out. The priority is on SELLING not on making a good product that works and that we can be proud of. It's frustrating.
