Getting worse, not better - werkgeversreview Engineering Management bij Magnet Forensics

Every Single Team is short on staff, making record profits, but can't get budget approval because Thoma Bravo promised investors 4x return in 4 years. Layoffs and budget reductions everywhere. No one actually knows how everything has been built over time, so we're reinventing all the wheels, but only getting a small time-frame to do it. We're scrambling at break-neck paces and putting out worse results. Any protest is met with mandated 'request' to "keep feedback focused on positive solutions". A little salty about the sale and turn private where Adam and Jad made over 200 million dollars and still rolled 60% into the new company, framed it like a sacrifice, and didn't give the 300 people who got them there ANYTHING. We even skipped holiday events so that we saved budget. The C level cash-out value was roughly 1 million dollars per employee and we're on our 2nd year of wage increase freeze.
