Proceed with Caution!! Literally one of the most toxic environments I have had the displeasure of working at. Upper management is wildly inappropriate, uncooperative, dishonest and just plan not nice or good people. Take note, this company simply parades black people, POC and women around giving the appearance of equality and diversity only to grossly underpay and emotionally abuse said groups of people. Also considering they like to brag that they are a woman owned company. Just goes to show they care more about appearances. This behavior is very deliberate and intentional. The structure of Adafruit makes no sense. But you can?t voice that or any other valid concerns because leadership is so delusional and ego driven that they literally cant receive constructive and honest feedback. Keep in mind that if you speak up and stand up for yourself consider yourself a marked target and await the blatant abuse, bullying and attacks. The unwarranted retaliation can be emotionally taxing. The leaders are not above working their brutal magic to try and turn your coworkers and peers against you to save face. It?s not okay and it?s not normal. Upper management and leadership also thoroughly enjoy gaslighting folks and sending these passive aggressive emails in their bullying crusade to attack and intimidate all the while ending it with a smiley face. Weird. Not okay. They give you this false sense of transparency which is all bs. No need to seek out promotions because you literally won?t ever be paid appropriately for the title and responsibilities. What?s the point? Nothing they do is ok. If you want to preserve your mental health, professional development, growth and overall happiness and actually be employable somewhere else, I would steer clear.
