Innovation handicapped by greedy shareholders and execs: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de New York Team en Botify

Botify has really been on a downhill spiral since the Series B funding. Growth at all costs has shot down morale across the teams, more so in the NYC with key members that built out the culture/teams leaving in droves. COVID-19 accelerated some of that unbalanced expectations of the company when pay cuts were introduce with pay cuts ranging from 9% to 18%. Exec teams by most standards took a low pay cut. For instance, the CEO, with large ownership of the company still took the same range pay cut as others who make significantly less and have no ownership at all. That is likely why they most recently announced equity for all employees, albeit very little. There was a small stipend of $482 (exact) for work from home equipment. But limited to only specific equipment. Those who wanted desks, chairs, etc were not allowed since we had to return the equipment if an employee left. Company tries to be "transparent" but doesn't actually provide transparency when it comes to things like pay cuts, equity, revenue forecasts and goals, and how/why some decisions are made. The company is not able to be transparent when it's the tough topics to talk about. Going as far as to call individuals out when asking a tough question in an "anonymous" Q&A.
