Great Engineers Marred by Poor Management

Business Outlook

Pros

-Small teams so lots of responsibility -Lots of smart and kind people -Competitive compensation (though stock vesting is backloaded to encourage 4 years)

Cons

-Culture is toxic and stressful. Think more Amazon than Facebook. -Employees are encouraged to work long hours to make up for lackluster code design, rather than improving the code. -More focused on ops and maintenance than long-term improvements to the product -Very top-down management, with most priorities coming from higher-up management than those closer to the product
