This company will be not be around in the next 12 months unless something drastic changes.
- Management has zero experience and does not understand what it takes fundamentally to run a high-growth business
- Morale is at an all-time low throughout the entire organization except for maybe one department
- Leadership touts continuous learning as a core value but don't know how to actually learn from mistakes. Example - they don't perform exit interviews to understand why people are running away from here
- Founders don't take advice from anyone despite never having worked for startups before or run a business before
- Sales has not hit their revenue goals ONCE in 18+ months - this is not an exaggeration
- AEs and ADRs do not make their OTEs - beware if they are saying otherwise in interviews
- Management doesn't care about people and opts to punish as motivation. Example - they took away the Sonos speaker on the Sales floor to make sure they could hear people making phone calls because no one can be trusted to do their job like an adult
- Devs joke about how terrible the platform code is and that we keep piling more crap on top of it instead of fixing the foundation
- We lose good candidates (and employees) because our pay is too low and instead either end up hiring people who lower the bar even further, or continue to be stretched too thin because we can't fill the roles
...Should I keep going or have you read enough yet?
