Good benefits but that is it.

If you are looking to work for an organization where people and their ideas are valued, and you want to make a contribution to a mission-based organization, keep looking. Credible preaches mission, purpose and helping people, but that is just a cover for a horribly dysfunctional executive team with no concept of how to effectively motivate and encourage a team to achieve its goals and work together toward a common purpose. They care only about making money for themselves and spending excessively on things that don’t add value to the company bottom line or to the purpose that they vehemently profess to care about. This is a culture of fear and obedience, not of purpose, achievement and wellness, which is how the organization is portrayed to outsiders during the recruiting process. There are many bright and accomplished people hired, and they have much to offer in terms of how a software organization should be run, but their ideas are discounted and ignored. What people learn instead is to hold their tongues, toe the line, spend countless hours on burdensome administrative tasks/reporting that don’t add value, and to agree with every suggestion (mandate) that is proposed by the execs, even if there are more effective ways to help move the company toward its goals. Employees learn quickly to hold their opinions and say yes to every edict, or lose favor and head down a path that ultimately leads to resignation or termination (which happens often and unexpectedly). Pay close attention to the negative reviews (and know that many positive ones are coerced or fabricated), heed the warnings, seek out contacts who have worked there, and pay attention to your gut as you go through the recruiting process. There is a reason that the turnover rate is incredibly high. It cannot be explained away by bad hires or a high-performance culture. It is mismanagement at the highest level of the organization. There is a reason that the recruiting process moves so quickly – they don’t want you to uncover the dirty little secrets of the organizational culture before you have been indoctrinated. Think carefully before you proceed!
