Pluspunten
Team members were polite and professional.
Minpunten
Poor compensation (30-50% below market for remote us-based startup). Supervisors + middle management made indications for compensation increases (to market rate), but never delivered. Title change from Senior -> Lead resulted in less than 5% increase in salary, plus disqualification from merit bonus for entire calendar year. Poor communication and ownership of cross-team work. Many colleagues had been through one or more acquisitions already, and did not seem to enjoy working there. Very little direct manager support to tackle challenges, but lots of complaining from them about other teams and individuals by name. Middle management poor at screening talent, and technical interviews were scripted and onerous (5+ rounds for some well-qualified applicants to individual contributor roles). A defunct, immature organization, which seems to be relying on buying competition instead of delivering a competitive product.
