Verity Reviews

- Runs like a richly funded public-research institute that accidentally discovered VC money: zero urgency, zero grasp of opportunity cost. - Boasts a “flat hierarchy” yet somehow manages to have C-level → Vice Presidents (new, expensive add) → Heads → Leads → Managers → Coordinators (another recent gem) → “Senior” – one middle-manager for every three ICs. Real talk: the company would instantly run faster, cheaper, and happier with half the headcount and one actual manager per 20 people. - 1:1s and performance reviews exist solely to stockpile quotes for the next layoff ceremony. No promotions, no bonuses, no KPIs, no career path – just ritualised bureaucracy. - Hiring sprees the moment a new funding tranche lands, followed by chaotic layoffs three months later because “strategy changed”. Middle management, of course, is bulletproof – their main KPI is producing passive-aggressive emails to justify their own existence. - Travel policy worthy of Ryanair on a bad day: per-diem so pathetic you lose money if you eat normally, while at least 50 % of the trips have no identifiable business purpose whatsoever. - Permanent fear culture – nobody takes risks, nobody speaks up, meetings are elaborate exercises in collective ass-covering. - Mandatory LinkedIn propaganda duty: employees are regularly strong-armed into copy-pasting identical, ChatGPT-written corporate love letters and cringeworthy sales buzzword salads on their personal accounts. Refuse too often and you’re suddenly “non-aligned with company values”.

* lack of experience and arrogance is common, especially in management roles * quite big turnover of people In general, 1-2 star reviews are quite on point. As another example, seen all of the developers in one of the departments quit on the team lead because of micromanagement. No consequences for the lead. Seen people quit without fallback job.
