Disgraceful - Anonymous employee FarEye Employee Review

Starting at FarEye, I walked into what can only be described as a circus, but it was a place that started to show promise after some new key hires so I carried on. Following consistent failure due to many teams within the business, I, along with many others, were laid off after an over-hiring surge - reflective of many other start-ups in the industry with big strategy plans and the complete lack of ability to execute. Nothing but big visions and inexperienced leadership. During my time at FarEye, I was subject to constant harassment and bullying by one particular employee. This was known to many of my colleagues, it was ignored by leadership and no action taken. Despite several complaints, I was advised by HR that no conversation was “off the record”, I was advised by fellow colleagues that the person in question was “untouchable” and that given my gender and “cultural differences” I needed to just put up with it. This is nothing but a toxic company, built on aspirational values. The blinkers worn by the leadership are creating huge cultural divides (despite wanting to apparently be a global company). Unless you’re a legacy employee who is protected by senior leadership, you probably won’t stand a chance. At FarEye, “friendships” overtake talent. Avoid at all costs.
