Poor leadership in engineering - Engineering Manager Teads Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear your appreciation for the engineering talent, modern office space, and the friendly atmosphere among peers. We’re proud of the team we’ve built and the environment we continue to improve. That said, we take your concerns seriously. While we regularly gather internal feedback through surveys, listening sessions, and direct conversations, this is the first time we’ve encountered such a strong perception of negative behavior about our leadership and culture. We want to be clear: this does not reflect the culture we are striving for, and we’re committed to ensuring that every team member feels heard, respected, and supported. As our employees develop and mature, we are proud of our fair and calibrated promotion process, based on transparent career ladders. This gives every engineer and manager the opportunity to grow in their role, and enables us to recognize and reward top talent. We also provide coaching and support specifically for engineers who transition to management. Regarding the comment about the office location: our site is in a growing tech area, surrounded by several other companies, with daily food trucks, new restaurants, and a recently completed tramway and bus connection. We understand that commute preferences vary, but we’re excited by the improvements in accessibility and amenities over the past year. We acknowledge that the recent context of the company (merger) can bring challenges, and we’ve been focused on leadership development, cross-functional alignment, and building a culture that matches our values, not just in words, but in day-to-day behaviors. We’re not perfect, but we’re committed to learning and improving.
