Toxic culture and leadership overshadow remote perks - Anonymous employee National Security Technology Accelerator Employee Review

It's a rapidly growing company and there are lots of opportunities to move up if you are a strong performer. They are investing in technology and resources to keep up with the growth. Pay is competitive, it's fully remote, and the benefits are some of the best I have had in my career, including a $225 monthly wellness benefit you can use for things like massages or a gym membership. My manager trusts me, listens to my input, and encourages me to suggest improvements.

If you need established processes, wait a few years to join the company. They are getting there but aren't there yet. I enjoy the challenge of building things but I understand that some people prefer routine and established work.

Most of the people and the mission is great. The benefits package punches above their weight. Depending upon your manager there may be good career growth, or you could be stagnant.

The executive leadership team has completely compromised what used to be a thriving company culture. The current C-suite operates like an insulated, high-school clique, and the recent wave of terrible ratings is a direct reflection of their toxic behavior.The COO is completely and visibly out of her depth. Promoting a former marketing director into the chief operating role was a baffling decision that has led to utter operational incompetence at the executive level. Her deeply unprofessional, embarrassing conduct at company functions sets a terrible standard for the staff and has eroded all corporate respect.Meanwhile, the CEO is chronically checked out, visibly unprepared for company-wide updates, and relies entirely on personal cronyism to protect his position rather than demonstrating actual competence. It feels as though the entire organization is being used to pad executive pockets while the actual workforce suffers under an unmanageable environment with massive, exhausting HR turnover. You either blindly play along with their corporate politics, or you are pushed out.
