I have written and deleted more Glassdoor reviews than I can count in recent months, but it's time to finally hit "submit". For the record, much of this has been brought up by myself and others many times before posting, but nothing changes. Here goes.
Recent MAJOR pay and benefits issues. We will see if they get resolved, but hopes are not high.
Attrition has been awful and completely unaddressed for over a year. Lies about backfilling positions are common with no delivery. This has led to further attrition as work gets thrown on the plates of remaining employees who are already overwhelmed. This hurts work-life balance and the product as a whole, which is slipping in areas where it used to be very competitive.
There are no lateral options for employees suddenly placed in poorly fitting roles to move to areas where their skills and professional interests would be better utilized, which means there are people unhappy on their teams and unhappy with their career paths.
No faith that the execs or Thoma Bravo care about this company at all. They've been told over and over and over what is needed to succeed and ignored nearly every suggestion. Middle management gets swatted like flies when they try to improve things. Sales has unreasonable expectations. The culture has slowly been dismantled.
I had shreds of optimism for a long time that things would end up getting better here, but... I don't see it anymore. They don't care. They haven't for awhile. This was an incredible place to work at one point, but the ship is sinking. I could have never imagined I would feel this low about a company I once loved so much.
To put it into terms that get the point across. LogRhythm used to be Raiders of the Lost Ark, but Thoma Bravo turned it into Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They proverbially ruined the Indiana Jones we loved in a passionless money grab.
I will save whoever normally responds to these reviews a little bit of time if you want to copy and paste the typical response to this feedback.
"Sorry you feel that way, but [write excuses here]. We don't acknowledge anything that needs to be improved and will change nothing. Even though this is one of many reviews like this and we hear these things in exit interviews constantly, this is a you problem, not us."
