Culture is just a buzzword, and every start up is claiming that’s what they offer.
In 6 months we are going to find out if it was either 1. They didn’t care about culture or 2. They had no idea how to create it.
Look around, you have a lot of 1st time VPs, directors, etc. Who let these people guide the company policy when they’ve never done it before?
No negotiations on salary? A strict scale that doesn’t account for prior performance or salary? Health benefits below industry average? They didn’t even insure reps on day 1. Below average car options but above average “Personal contribution” fee? An equity plan that failed miserably already creating tension/jealousy amongst teams?
This is just the compensation package , I’m nervous to see how they treat us if we are below expectations for sales, metrics, etc.
