In my experience, the CEO does not demonstrate trust in his employees, and does not seem to make an effort to understand his employees or their roles. I found that my well-reasoned decisions were often overruled, in ways that created more work for me and the company. My decisions were questioned by someone who has no understanding of my role or the context around the decisions.
Additionally, I found there to be a lack of empathy in leadership at PerBlue. With one senior leader, my regularly scheduled meetings were often canceled or rescheduled, last minute, and sometimes after I had already been ghosted in the meeting. This became a pattern that began to deeply affect my mental health. When I finally brought up my concerns, my perspective was questioned and feelings minimized. This mirrored other situations I experienced at PerBlue, where I was expected to adjust my own perspective in situations where I was negatively impacted.
PerBlue does not do regular cost of living adjustments, and the interval between raises is inconsistent.
I found that my opportunities for growth were fairly limited.
While I believe PerBlue tries to be extremely transparent about the company roadmap and performance of the products, I felt at times like things were communicated in a way that left room for misinterpretation of the true situation.
