Pros
I have some great colleagues and my work has interesting challenges. Good pay and company benefits. I like and believe in Teya's mission.
Cons
There is a pattern of short tenures across the company, with many people leaving within their first year. This is not isolated to one team. The result is a culture of uncertainty for those who remain, where fear of being next replaces long-term planning. Long hours and implicit pressure to overwork are normalized. Management culture across departments leans heavily toward micromanagement. While the company succeeds in hiring capable, driven professionals, leadership often fails to trust them to operate independently. Decision-making authority is routinely centralized, slowing execution and undermining accountability. This is a recurring issue, not an isolated one. Senior leadership consistently demonstrates poor execution and weak operational judgment. Strategic decisions made at the top frequently generate downstream problems that other teams are forced to clean up. Product direction in particular feels reactive, internally focused, and disconnected from customer impact, creating unnecessary work for support and delivery teams. Marketing and brand initiatives often appear misaligned with the company’s stated mission. Resources are spent on high-visibility projects that prioritize internal validation over measurable business or customer outcomes. These efforts feel performative rather than strategic. At the executive level, priorities and direction change frequently, sometimes week to week. Ways of working, expectations, and strategy are repeatedly reset, making sustained progress difficult. There is also a noticeable tendency to favor familiar professional networks in senior hiring, limiting diversity of perspective and reinforcing existing leadership blind spots.
