7Summits Reviews

My hopes writing this review, is to grab 7Summits attention and take action to better their environment. Maybe expressing this matter through a more public channel will open the eyes of leadership. While I've been here, the most embarrassing part about this is women within the company have started initiatives, and spoke loudly about this matter and still no actions have been taken. Our questions and points of view are overlooked and ignored. It's difficult because this isn't about sexual harassment or wage discrimination. It's the glass ceiling - the institutional barrier preventing women advancing beyond a certain point. You want to talk about career path? For future employees or people that are interviewing, there isn't a career path here at 7Summits if you are a woman. 7Summits revolves around stereotypes and cultural norms, which underline certain expectations about gender. Women are talked over in meetings, and disrespected. Disrespect seeps into the workplace, and 7Summits will start to be looking at some serious consequences. Male employees ignore female coworkers and disregard their opinions, those on the receiving end of the disrespect tend to get defensive, making it difficult to trust anyone. Believe me when I say people feel the subtle hostility and everyone is working to watch their backs, teamwork is seriously compromised. Even though "rudeness" is wily it creates lack of cooperation, open hostility and distrust among coworkers. Has anyone noticed the high turnover here? Many people want to leave, even for a lesser position just because they’re unhappy in the hostile environment. 7Summits is not doing well financially and they take no accountability for their mistakes, rather they let go hard working people. These talented individuals shouldn't have to put up with a disrespectful workplace because they can relocate to a job where they feel respected. Do you know how much gossip goes around at 7Summits? People, would rather call in sick and take a mental health day than deal with the hostility. This stress causes physical emotional burnout, which then creates negativity, antisocial behavior and far less productivity. I hope this review opens eyes to the alpha males that make up the entire company. Listen to the women there, promote them. Create a place where people want to go into work everyday. Give people reasons to go out and brag they work at 7s. Believe me, right now the reputation of 7Summits is anything but good. I would not interview at this company until you hear from inside sources there's been major improvement.

-Most people are spread out across far too many projects and the projects vary too much to become experts. -Turnover has been extreme. Too many senior people left, and too many new employees leave within a year. -Days are spent answering frankly stupid questions and attending pointless meetings, and real work has to happen after hours. -Few projects are set up for success - inadequate budget, impossible timeline, no client accountability. -Benefits are adequate but have great room for improvement. -Cold, mostly empty, almost completely undecorated office space.
