Dysfunctional - Anonymous employee Obligo Employee Review

- A Series A company that acts like a Series A company. Good product, horrific execution, hopeless leadership team. They haven’t got the experience to scale the company but due to their emotional attachment to the company, cannot relinquish control to people who have. - Obligo is a company where loud voices, hot takes, arrogance and badly thought-out opinions are placed way above thoughtfulness, competence, experience and reason. - Incestuous inner circle leads to an echo chamber of nonsense. - Obsessed with inputs; strangely, outputs are almost ignored. Obligo would rather somebody conducted 10 pointless customer / sales meetings rather than 2 good ones because the charts show more activity. Fun Facts: - Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Manchild” was written about one of the Co-founders. You all know which one. - Data dashboards outnumber employees by 300:1. Rumor has it that two people once saw the same dashboard but I don’t believe it myself. - In a recent test, 80% of the leadership team who manage teams failed to manage their way out of a cardboard box. - The “S” word is not tolerated in the office under any circumstances - Strategy. Obligo have been known to hire experienced leaders; once that mistake is realized, they quickly exit them from the company to avoid any threat of competency. - Recently discovered that partnership launch deadlines are actually reliant on work rather than just setting an arbitrary deadline and keeping our fingers crossed.
