Good learning experience & Terrible management

Pros

My peers were great mentors for this field. Absolutely my time learning from them.

Cons

Management is very sensitive to criticism, and it will probably be the company's downfall as they are not flexible to change. I am writing this review now because I worked at the company several months ago. The CEO of the company sent out an employee satisfaction survey to the whole company. He then had an all hands meeting to discuss the results, during which he stated: "20% of you do not think your managers are properly managing you, and are not satisfied with how things are run. To those of you who feel this way. Just leave, and quit." Rather than address and followup to how the company could be run better he told his employees to leave. To my knowledge at least 5 employees have put in notice following that meeting, and more are debating it. Thats over 10% of the HQ's staff. Food for thought. When an employee gives constructive criticism. Its not an attack. They care enough about the company to want to better it. If you attack them and make them leave, then less people in the company are there that actually care about its success. Good luck.

Pros

Good people and friendly culture. Quality work done for clients. Work life balance is relatively good except that the policies for maternity leave are weak.

Cons

Leadership keeps staff in the dark about the condition of the company despite preaching transparency. Family members lead departments with high turnover. Stock ownership for employees was promised but did not materialize.

Pros

Overall great people to work with, decent pay. Had a raise for inflation which was a nice touch.

Cons

Leadership and HR took a turn for the worst this year. I was really disappointed to start off the company at a high and then end on a low. I was overworked, undervalued, and felt used. They put monitoring software on the laptops which made employees feel a lack of trust from the c-suite. HR starting putting so many rules/red tape on things that you’d think this was a large company. Various people were randomly fired but the CEO covered up the way in which those employees departed (it was mutual) even though some of us knew how things really went down. I joined this company because of the mission and culture but towards the end of my time there, everything just seemed to be about numbers and power. Everyone seemed to be getting burnt out and the CEO even publicly humiliated a couple of leads from a department in front of everyone on the weekly company call. That’s when I for sure knew things were taking a turn for the worst. Things just started getting out of hand and toxic. Everything going on caused a lot of stress and anxiety which I’m glad to be rid of now.
