After the whole Horvath incident, I take what they say with a grain of salt. It's hard changing company culture, especially one that's Bro Code heavy. You can probably make big changes within a small company, but there are currently 239 employees.

"The investigation found no evidence to support the claims against Tom and his wife of sexual or gender-based harassment or retaliation, or of a sexist or hostile work environment. ... As to the remaining allegations, the investigation found no evidence of gender-based discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or abuse."
- pekk 12y agoAn accusation is as good as a finding of guilt in the court of public opinion.

- grmarcil 12y agoTo fill in your ellipsis: "However, while there may have been no legal wrongdoing, the investigator did find evidence of mistakes and errors of judgment. In light of these findings, Tom has submitted his resignation, which the company has accepted." Although they found no evidence of legal wrongdoing, they found enough general dirt to force a founding CEO to resign. Obviously the public will never know exactly what happened, but an explosive, highly publicized employee departure followed by a CEO's resignation makes you wonder how the company allowed things to go so wrong.
