Pros

The energy and innovation are like nothing I've seen. Brilliant people given the tools to do incredible things, and the leadership team is accessible, humble, and engaged in strengthening the team and delivering the vision.

Cons

The pace is fast. Start-up culture is not for everyone, and that's okay.

Pros

1. The core IT teams are highly talented, collaborative, and dedicated. 2. Prior to structural leadership changes, the company had a strong, healthy culture of open technical discussion.

Cons

1. Leadership & Culture: A restructuring shifted reporting lines under a new leadership for Engineering, which fundamentally altered the culture for the worse. Management shifted to a "my way or the highway" mentality. Honest, constructive pushback on ownership and architecture is met with systematic sidelining. 2. Sidelining & Exclusion: Rather than managing transparently, leadership used promotions and further re-orgs to isolate managers—purposely excluding targeted leaders from critical technical sessions and rendering 1:1 meetings entirely useless and devoid of feedback. 3. Ethics & Lack of Empathy: The most alarming aspect of the culture is how vulnerable employees are treated. The leadership has developed a model that sidelines people of color.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Reorgs are disruptive, and we take critical feedback seriously, especially on issues of equity and inclusion. We want to address the comment about how people of color are treated at Shipium directly. Building an equitable workplace is not a passive commitment for us. We have an employee-led DEIB committee that has been active since 2023, our leadership team recently completed an interactive in-person DEIB training, and we maintain an anonymous HR reporting tool available to all employees for concerns that feel difficult to raise directly. Anyone who has experienced what's described in this review is encouraged to use it. On culture: as Shipium has scaled, we've added more structure, clearer ownership, and stronger accountability. That's a deliberate and necessary evolution. We'd push back on the characterization that this means dissent isn't welcome. Healthy debate and technical pushback remain core to how we work. What's changed is that decisions get made and teams move forward and we think that's the right tradeoff at this stage of the company. We hear that the transition was painful, and we remain committed to holding leadership to the standards that got us here.
