I spent six years here and thought that it might be useful to add my own observations now that their HR team seem determined to play down the recent truthful reviews by a concerted effort.
Without question, one of the most ruthless companies I've ever worked with when it comes to culling staff. Stack is now profit before people business. Which doesn't matter if they get sold off in a few years time. The risk here is that they are leaving a legacy of people who worked hard to create what they have. Only to then sack them all off because their senior managers don't have the ability to even focus for two minutes on the culture.
Stack is lucky enough to benefit from a huge community of developers. They are now all in their private version of the platform having recently shut down the Talent (jobs) part of the business. A few problems with this:
A. Senior management is woeful. Literally a sales 'leader' treating reps like eight year old school kids by creating an environment based on fear rather than support.
B. Marketing telling sales people how to sell. Despite never having sold the product. Enough said.
C. Ditching reps who generated millions in revenue is short sighted to say the least. Whether they like it or not they need people who can sell. It's perhaps indicative of the leadership team they have in place that they think this is the right call. Sack people off. Hire new people. Burn them out. Rinse and repeat.
