Working at this company has been a nightmarish experience, and I feel compelled to share my insights to caution others. The work environment is nothing short of toxic and hostile. Leadership, driven by a lack of empathy, sets unrealistic deadlines for individual contributors, rendering any attempt to voice concerns or frustration a one-way ticket to expulsion. The leadership team thrives on bringing in like-minded individuals to exploit ICs, coercing them into working insane hours to boost revenue in the face of the company's evident failure. Existing customers are fleeing, and new sales deals are slipping away daily, leading to a decline in product usage and revenue. The FTO policy is nothing more than a facade; taking holidays is frowned upon, and vacations become punishment as an overwhelming workload awaits upon return. The unrealistic expectations placed on Customer Success, Sales, and Engineering contribute to a demotivating and confusing work atmosphere. There is no real product team nor a QA team. Support team plays a pseudo QA. A new product leader joined who is a narcissist. Heavy surveillance, micromanagement, and a desperate C-suite trying to salvage a sinking ship make this company a cesspool of toxicity, devoid of work ethics, unfair compensation, no job security, and no healthy work-life balance.

Textbook toxic workplace. Unfortunate combination of micromanagement and not being able to make any decisions while being expected to take on enormous ownership. Unclear expectations that change on a dime with no explanation, and zero ability from management to take feedback or provide support for the team. Layoffs and firings are always around the corner and the team is often not informed or given reasons when they happen. Everyone is always waiting for the other shoe to drop and expected to take on additional work without a word after said layoffs or firings. There’s enormous conflict between the leaders, some of who hate each other and are rarely on the same page. Little to no company direction. No opportunities for career growth. Everyone is seen as interchangeable and asked to take on work outside of their job description, with no recognition. Huge conflict of interest in the CEO being head of the board, he chooses more profit in his pocket over people every time.
