Laid back, but doesn't live up to it's values - Software Engineer II Indeed Employee Review

The company touts "pay for performance", but this is a blatant lie. I know many top performers that are paid very low compared to other similar roles. I think the company grew too fast, and then couldn't handle it. Everything also moves very slowly. It is very hard to get anything done because the culture is to play it safe rather than experiment. Also, there are many high level leaders that appear to do nothing. I see no evidence that these leaders provide value.
