Bullies and Id--ts
Oct 4, 2023
Pros
They regularly deposit money into my bank account. Data products probably will not go out of style anytime soon.
Cons
People are rude, condescending, and not willing to work together. Things will be demanded from top leadership and everyone will scramble to get it done despite the fact it was a stupid idea to begin with and we never should have done it. The final result is employees who don't like working together because they were put under enormous pressure to get a project done, unsatisfied fellow employees (with the project's final results), chaos, and generally nothing to show for it except we 'checked the box' that it happened. Poorly managed layoffs occurred starting mid July and are still ongoing, leading to an enormous culture of fear as every week or so it seems you learn someone else has been told their time is up. You never know when it might be your turn!
An old-school backwards mysognist place with failed acquisitions
Oct 12, 2023
Pros
Buy buying companies, they have a great set of products for their field to sell. Some nice people that actually care about the business.
Cons
Too many to count. They are an old-school company and not a tech firm. There is NO diversity at the top and many of the leaders treat underlings like chattel or hired help. They keep cutting and cutting because their PE owners keep telling them to (and they keep the cheapest people - not the best ones). Run away from this place! They are bleeding people left right and center. There is no investment in career advancement and the pay is well below market. They will not IPO - they will end up being sold to another data firm and get absorbed into them and the CEO will make a windfall.
