Employees are treated like mere pawns

Business Outlook

Pros

Good overall culture. Scott McGregor has great vision and the company has a good roadmap.

Cons

More senior employees do not feel respected and valued. Seems like the team has high turnovers (due to better opportunities elsewhere) and senior members being replaced with more and more junior (thus cheaper) engineers. Vacation policy (no longer accumulation based) is just pure wrong. Compensation is unfair (under market value especially for senior people). A lot of work but no reward (which leads to lack of motivation and turnovers).
