Thankful for Engineering Leaders with soft-skills

Pros

- Strong "walking the walk" ethic of really treating your employees well and giving them enrichment and autonomy. - Came to work every day energized and engaged for highly complex, rewarding work with great people! - Great opportunity to seriously level up your skills, especially on the mighty ugc team I was on. - Genuine, honest, humble (now) and seriously talented coworkers and a truly lofty mission that always kept me motivated. - A generally strong adjustment to fully-remote culture amid uncertainty and a great new generation of leaders.

Cons

- Previous Engineering leaders had rather poor soft skills and consistently made me feel looked down upon and inadequate while trying to do everything themselves (not always well). My rating would have been much lower in the past. - Cultivated a "clique" of Engineers in the old SF office that hurt morale for MV employees, affected opportunities to work on high-visibility projects and reduced chances for promotion. - Poor managing of expectations around career advancement. - Some amount of knowledge/product "siloing". - Product and Design can be disorganized and lack cohesive vision.

Pros

I am thrilled to be approaching month 1 at Glassdoor! The interview process and onboarding have been seamless. Most of all, I have a true sense of belonging to a great company. The culture and appreciation for work/life balance are the best I have seen in the industry.

Cons

The company is going through a natural transition point in the maturity model and change management will be key to retain legacy team members who are key to the success. However, I believe the right leaders are in place to take the company through this and succeed!
