Foundry Reviews

Marketing are the driving force of bitter infighting and office politics. After the old VC purchase and the new one, there was a restructure that benefited those who where in the "inner circle". A flourish of inexperienced managers who didn't know what they wanted, but needed to raise sales and revenue, non the less, led to two failed products and loss of valued colleagues. No remorse and no regrets attitude from C Staff teams. Watch out for HR. Complete poison. Cold blooded and under handed tactics that will, and have led to, lots of top people leaving. The ousting of the original founder was the last straw for most. With another round of VC to be had, they will be trimming the fat, after the sale. Look else where.

There are so many I don't even know where to start. Upper management who make decisions without understanding the ins and outs of what the teams are dealing with, so there are no solutions, just added problems and bad decisions. Major unhappiness with everyone I know still here, they all want to leave because they feel unappreciated, and overworked. There are people who have left who we will not be able to replace, but the company doesn't understand that high level technical people with these skills are very very difficult to find. Staff is pushed hard, expected to do more with absolutely no support to justify the goals set. New management with no understanding or background in our industry, but set expectations that aren't in line with our capabilities because of no resources. Understaffed, under resourced, pie in the sky ideas with no concrete strategic plan that will get us there.
