Failing Start Up, Fake Company - Anonymous employee CesiumAstro Employee Review

8 years and still a start up, more like 96 month old toddler. Boys club environment based off brown nosing and yes man followers. Extremely political, gossipy, and incompetent management. Secret meeting within leadership and favored employees. Means girls group unfriendly to all new women hires. No communication from management to their teams. Very top heavy with an over abundance of managers. Excessive amount of approvals for everything. No team building in any department whatsoever. Management refuses to learn from past failures. Inventory is so poorly managed every build has shortages. Takes months to receive items purchased even after approvals. Company cannot face issues. Doomed to keep repeating the cycle. Burnout culture with no incentive to do extra. Not flexible compared to other start ups. Mass walks out due to incompetent management and nepotism. No hybrid or work from home options. Extremely high turnover. No structure or systems in place whatsoever. No competent debug team. No root cause analysis. Toxic culture of firing people on the spot without warning. Company doesn't believe in hardware designed for manufacturing. No product ever delivered on time. There are a ton of early employees considered untouchable and protected. These people are incompetent with little to no experience outside this company. They are allowed to run rampart and have control of EVERY department. Many people have been let go for challenging them or trying to fix the destruction they create. Company focuses solemnly on marketing and product design without quality, repeatability, or cost in mind. Constantly creating new products to keep the illusion going without ever addressing issues or delivering any hardware.
