There's 3 things that I judge an employer by
1) Sector the company is in (Space, electric cars - Yay)
2) Revenue/Growth of the company (pie grows, does your share?)
3) Company culture (that's catch-all, but if you want a negative see that "don't hire the hot girl" guy)
A lot of ways I care more about the sector, because that's the thing I cannot hope to influence, but the rest is actually open to improvement if you're high enough on the ladder.
I think the "bean counting led" is a failure on #3, but might be a win on #2.
- mjevans 6y agoProbably not for number 2, but that's speculation and not a data-driven statement. I hypothesize that the _MBA type_ of bean counters optimize for their pie, not for the greater good or longer term growth.
