Former MailChimper (back when it was still camelcase). I was also promoted to a management position in Engineering.

I knew all the people in this story. While I didn't know about Alejandra's harassment in particular, I believe her. The culture there would make something like this very easy.

Mailchimp's management has ZERO accountability. HR does not investigate complaints. Lots of politics and brown-nosing.

I attempted to escalate concerns with other managers to leadership and HR several times to no avail. Come promotion time, I was explicitly told I wasn't moving up because I raised concerns. I wasn't the only person to suffer this type of retaliation.

Check Glassdoor. Check Blind. Check out tweets from other employees: https://twitter.com/johnthebeeler/status/1365073605923663872

Upper management knew about this stuff for years and didn't act.

EDIT: Removed some names.
