Beware of micromanagement - Software Engineer impact.com Employee Review

Great benefits. Great product/ company. Supportive environment. Flexible work schedule. Hire within and want to promote and give raises. Free lunches. They do a lot of employee events. The culture is really great and my work/ life balance has never been better.

Some teams have to go in 3 days

The People: The day-to-day team is easily the best part of this company. Middle management and individual contributors are incredibly smart, empathetic, and wonderful to work with. There is a genuine sense of camaraderie at the ground level. The Product: You are working on something truly viable. The product is incredibly solid, has great market potential, and is something you can actually feel proud to build and support. The Perks: Unlimited PTO and a hybrid office are massive benefits that are genuinely respected by your direct peers and managers, allowing for some work-life flexibility if/when you can grab it.

Directionless Senior Leadership: Executive leadership is a complete mess. They are chronically misaligned and seemingly incapable of agreeing on a unified strategy. As a result, priorities shift constantly, pulling teams in entirely different directions and constantly piling on chaotic, reactionary work. Culture Shift: While the company loves to preach a healthy, supportive culture, the reality at the top is the exact opposite. Management by Fear: The newest member of the senior leadership team is actively destroying the company culture and morale. They choose to lead through intimidation and dishonesty rather than inspiration and transparency. It has created a toxic ripple effect that is rapidly burning out the middle management layer.
