Venerable, Poorly-Managed Tech Company - Anonymous employee Paltalk Employee Review

Excellent smart people and challenging job.

None that I can see.

None. I questioned if every dollar I made there was worth it. It is not.

-Micro managers, especially the CEO -Executives launch the company into random directions with no research to back their shots-in-the-dark. They fail or executives change their minds after mass amounts of money have been spent. -Executives lie to employees and short them on bonuses and refuse raises. One person worked her job and her manager's for more than 6 months, but only got half her bonus, $500. -Management asks their HR person to post positive reviews to draw in unsuspecting job seekers. -Executives tirelessly try to get the HR person to remove glassdoor reviews that are true. (Check what Paltalk used to be called, Peerstream, and Snap Interactive before that) -When projects go wrong, executives blame their subordinates for their own decisions. -Executives are sticklers for requesting vacation and constantly contact employees on vacation to continue doing work. -When executives go on vacation they're completely unreachable and don't request their vacation, they just suddenly don't come to work for a week. -Executives don't care about their customers, I once heard an executive say "They aren't people". I am repulsed that I ever worked for this company. There is a reason they've changed their company name 3 times in 5 year.
