Pros
Individual contributors here are world-class. Worked with a myriad of intelligent, driven, and thoughtful individuals. Hired some incredible minds and I’ll gladly work with some of these people later in life.
Cons
I was sold the dream of Vercel. This place was such an incredible disappointment. In the field org, senior management is atrocious. Full of first time senior leaders who lack vision, business acumen, and basic people management skills. Their reactive nature will end up creating a culture of distrust. Some additional poor management qualities include: - intimidation of employees - lack of transparency around key business decisions - siloed teams and lack of willingness to work cross-departmentally There are not many known pathways for individual contributors for career growth. Culture is siloed, too. The People Team is working diligently to build a good culture, but a good culture needs to exemplified by the top line leaders. Current culture in senior leadership is brooding, arrogant, and egotistical.
