Constant instability and zero long-term vision
The company changes direction with the flip of a finger. One day the entire marketing team was suddenly disbanded, A bit later heads of Sales, Marketing, and another department all “left” for unspecified reasons. About a month later, 8 out of 10 engineers were let go in a single day, regardless of performance. The team leads, senior/junior engineers without and consultant and without knowledge of Engineering Managers.
There is no real planning, and the roadmap shifts constantly. Priorities change overnight, and engineers regularly receive unexpected, ad-hoc tasks directly from the CEO. Overall, the environment feels chaotic, reactive, and entirely unpredictable.
we got 30 days PTO, amazing paternity (12 weeks) & maternity leaves, a lot of great benetifs at the beginning. They are all cut off now.
