Minpunten
- The acquisition by a venture capital group has led the company into a downward spiral of budget cuts and a toxic culture. - Major layoffs happen twice a year. - Billing is the only metric they care about. If they don't have work for you, even for a short time, get your resume in shape. - The people who get ahead are no longer the best performers. Now, people yell and blame everyone so they can look like they're on top of things. People who throw others under the bus get multiple promotions, while genuine problem solvers are blamed and let go. It's a shame because the company used to be a place where people looked out for each other. - To survive in a changing market, the company will vastly oversell capabilities and sell products that don't exist or projects that are impossible to deliver, often outright lying to clients. Sometimes, we can deliver the impossible, but sometimes, it truly is impossible. 60-70 hour weeks are possible—while you're being reprimanded and berated for a promise someone else made.
