Worst company I have ever worked for! - Anonymous employee ActiveCo Technology Management Employee Review

Deciding to join this company was the worst decision I have ever made. In my opinion, ActiveCo's management is unethical, unscrupulous and just downright bad. I was extremely overworked, underpaid and not in the slightest appreciated for any of the work that I did. I was constantly verbally harassed, micromanaged, belittled and reprimanded. Here is a laundry list of things that I found wrong with this company: - ActiveCo's work environment is highly toxic and fake. Everything you see about its culture on social media is fabricated to make the company look good. - Work-life balance is non-existent. They expect you to come in early and stay late without any overtime or compensation, but if you need time off or to leave early, they will create a huge fuss and very happily deduct your pay even if you are salaried. I can't speak for the other employees but this has happened with me many times. - For the length of time I worked at ActiveCo, it was a constant revolving door of people joining and leaving the company. This left the company short staffed a lot of the time. - The management of employees is extremely terrible and there is always favoritism at play. - Being a mid-sized company, there is an understanding that everyone pitches in and helps, but ActiveCo takes this understanding for granted. I was constantly expected to help in various departments with little to no training and wasn't even asked if I could take on the extra workload, I was just expected to. - I found that there is very basic benefits which I had to pay 50% for and there is no sick leave at all or vacation in the first year. They also have a very convoluted way of calcuting vacation. There is just so much more wrong with this company that I haven't mentioned in my review and I have never been so glad to have left a company.
