Disorganized, dysfunctional, and leaderless. - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Protocol Labs

The founder is a visionary, but has no plan or directives to accomplish that vision. The organization mostly bends to satisfy his ego and ridiculous timelines, burning out whoever he wishes along the way. The leader are not leaders. Most were roommates of, or met the founder at Stanford and this has been their only job. There is a huge gap of management experience at the leadership level. Most do not know how to communicate a vision, there are rarely any strategic plans or strategic thinking, and there is no north star. Management is not even important at this company. There is no emphasis on growing yourself or your reports. There is no business strategy. When employees ask for one, "leadership" tells us to execute. There is no thinking before doing here and if you dare suggest it, you are dismissed. They treat women like crap. Repeatedly. Firstly, there are very few women at the company, and only a few in leadership positions. Most of the women in leadership positions do not empower other women. "Vocal" women are pushed out or fired regularly. Gas lighting and under-resourcing women is common. Many women refuse to work with some "leaders" because of their past treatment from these guys. They do not care about employee growth. The recruiting process is very fruitful and full over over-promises. The experience once you are inside is a nightmare.
