Toxic environment, incompetent leadership - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Button

Button has a dynamic work environment. They are pushing hard into new types of Ad inventory that is starting to get traction so there's no shortage of exciting projects.

If you are on the West coast, the time difference is a drag but getting to go to NYC every once in a while sort of makes up for it.

- unlimited PTO (if you can actually use it) - new office

Continually cost cutting projects, dumpster fire fighting, or projects shafted after months of work with no empathy. I understand priorities can shift in a start up environment, but there is no clear direction across product and engineering, which instills no trust in senior leaders and they don't seem to care about employee morale. Employees questioning their decision to work here so soon after getting hired is not good. CRO is power hungry and always looking to show her "knowledge", when really she just acts like a dictator, that's not leadership. The immense lack of respect, rudeness, and condescension is disturbing, with the attitude of "get it done or else". Which results in fear and stress to get things submitted without proper QC or even a ticket. When managers start blaming their teams instead of taking accountability, that's when you know the company isn't headed anywhere good. If you want to feel burnout your first month, Button is the company for you. They say you "wear a lot of hats", but you're not paid for it either, which eats away at your quality of life and you start dreading going to work each week.
