Lost its way - Anonymous employee Intermolecular Employee Review

It was a great place to work, everyone was always willing to help each other out. As the company grew, poor executive leadership was added. Became a weird culture that didn't reward good work adequately. The executive staff broke up like the Beatles, and the board of directors inserted themselves into the mix of the top level staff, and hired yes people, and destroyed the value and the culture. They just didn't know how to be good managers, or mentor people to be better managers, because the execs were horrible at it too. I have steered friends from applying to positions there to save them from the anguish, and to go find pain somewhere else.
