I've had the opposite experience, my manager's been solid for almost 2 years. Feels really team dependent.

Yeah it really is a coin flip which team you land on tbh.

This tracks with what I've seen too. Our team went through a similar reorg and the manager never really engaged again after.

Yeah the reorg churn seems pretty common lately, not just your team.

Appreciate you posting this honestly, feels like nobody talks about the manager lottery part enough.

Thanks for sharing and honesty, OP! Any tips for how to navigate the culture round? What worked for you?

Kind of the same story over at OpenAI honestly. Mission talk covers for a lot of management gaps across the industry right now.

The vibes based culture round thing is real. Passed all my technical rounds and still got dinged there.
