FloSports has tragically lost its once vibrant culture, transforming into a toxic workplace. It is disheartening to witness the decline of what was once a remarkable company.
The deterioration began in 2021 with the hiring of an SVP of Product who prioritized politics over productivity. Dishonesty and hypocrisy have damaged both morale and productivity. Employees who neglect their responsibilities but blindly echo unfounded statements are shielded from consequences. Upper management not only fails to support their teams but also resorts to dishonesty, at times even disparaging former key team members and boasting about their ability to terminate anyone at will. The departure of valuable members from the Product, Development, and Operations teams, who played pivotal roles in building the existing streaming infrastructure, has further exacerbated the situation.
In 2023, FloSports underwent significant layoffs, conducted in smaller increments, potentially to avoid scrutiny. The quality of engineering has noticeably declined. The CEO's statements to employees have created a hostile environment, particularly for remote workers.
If you decide to join FloSports, do not anticipate staying long enough for your stock options to become vested. The CEO operates with a bait-and-switch mentality toward goals, senior leadership and upper management lack integrity, and there is a noticeable decline in morale and values. Additionally, the presence of an intimidating HR person and an unbalanced work-life balance should be expected. Consider whether this is the right place for you.
