Once inspiring company now feels disorganized and frantic

Pros

-unlimited PTO -really smart people across the company -the open source community loves RStudio and you feel like you’re making an impact -Slack/Google company

Cons

This company has declined sharply over the last two years and it's painful to watch. Leadership has churned across multiple departments, and the new leaders do not have a clear strategy for how to save the sinking ship. Direction shifts every quarter with no time to learn whether anything is working. The flat, approachable and “non-org chart” culture that defined this place is gone. New execs and VPs are unreachable, make decisions without collaboration, fail to protect their teams' time, and sit too far from the actual work to notice that things keep getting added to people's plates while nothing comes off. Sales has missed quarterly targets for nearly two years. Finances are tight. Roles disappear without explanation. Money still gets spent on expensive tools that were never vetted with the people expected to use them. Plus, theres the AI pressure that a lot of other tech companies are dealing with, which now has created a workforce that lives in constant fear that they're next to be let go. It is genuinely sad to see a once inspiring company become this colorless, frantic, disorganized version of itself.

Pros

Benefits, work/life balance, pay structure, retention bonuses. Very touchy feely company, they very much care about employee satisfaction which is great, but can inhibit them at certain moments as well.

Cons

Leadership, lay offs, financial losses, bandaid fixes, etc. The company has missed quota for 6 quarters in a row. There’s no real direction here, what they do changes every week which is understandable because they’re trying to keep the boat but sinking, but at the same time it takes time for change to be seen. It’s a data science company that doesn’t allow for real data to compile and influence decisions.

Pros

- lots of very smart people across every department - very wide breadth of products - many interesting technical challenges

Cons

- feels siloed even for a small-ish company - some very smart and good intentioned people are also blinded by their own biases - making sustainable revenue to support giving away as much open source work as possible especially in the age of AI is becoming more and more challenging
