Run. - Recruiter Epitec Employee Review

Everything. Where do I even begin. Initially, the company presented itself as a great place to work, with a supportive culture and a focus on employee well-being. They promote a sense of camaraderie and a positive company culture. However, after a few months, the reality sets in. This place will take advantage of young new grad students or desperate job seekers and burn them out to the max. The work environment fosters a constant sense of insecurity, with frequent layoffs and firings happening. Employees are placed on performance improvement plans (PIPs) without clear guidance or actionable steps, which is most likely a signal that you will lose your job. They set extremely unrealistic metrics that continue to increase the longer you are here, and if you are falling behind (which most people are) even just a little bit, they will micromanage you and not give you any room to breathe until you can get back on track. If you aren't making any improvement (even if it's out of your control), they will fire you. If you aren't meeting these impossible metrics, they ask you to work on your days off with no additional pay to meet their metrics, so you are backed into a corner and have no excuse as to why you aren't meeting numbers. It is a constant uphill battle that you are destined to lose. If an offer falls through and a candidate decides to not take the job, it is immediately your fault. Management will question your abilities and blame you for not doing enough to save the deal, even if it is completely out of your control. Leadership is extremely unprofessional and shady, making extremely inappropriate comments and using lots of profanity during company meetings. I am surprised that these people have not been reported. You are nothing but a number to this company, they do not care about what you think. There is no room to express your thoughts here, you either get on the epitec train and slave away your life to this company and expect nothing in return or get left behind.
