Major Brain Drain

Anonymous employee

Pros

Hard working collegues in the old guard.

Cons

The company has experienced a major brain drain. The good people are leaving in droves. Management has spent years giving minimal raises and low bonuses while remaining short-staffed and asking folks to be heros. Many people are working 10-12+ hours a day and it's not unusual to see them online on weekends. After months of putting in insane hours on a project the company might give you a $50 gift card for your troubles - most people find this insulting. Management does not respect them and continues to pile more work on, while providing nearly no actual management. The services department is notorious for giving folks mental breakdowns (they lose a few folks a year to mental health leave). Product is extremely short staffed and often blamed for issues that have nothing to do with their work. Everyone is stressed out and busy, unless your name is known most people will not respond to your emails. New CEO is trying to insert some sort of weird frat/football culture. "We work at the 'A'". While praising people who work while they should be on FMLA leave. Plus they make you sign a non-compete so you can't leave and go anywhere that even does something simular. So you will basically be a hostage.

Pros

-Work/life balance- I could work exactly 40 hours with no issue -Events to get to know each other

Cons

-Lack of interdepartmental communication -Bad management Managers will not take care of you as an overall employee (which is their job)- instead only focusing on themselves. Opportunities to grow are stifled. There is barely any training, and employees were expected to learn on the job with harsh criticisms. There is a feeling of micro-management that can give people anxiety: 1. Inflexibility in work from home days. You had to take what little PTO adds up if you were sick, or if you had kids and needed to watch them at home for any reason. 2. Clocking in and out of a time system is doable but not when we are watched like hawks because we absolutely had to take "at least" 30 minutes of lunch for some reason.

Hellhole where you cannot advance

Pros

I think the company does good work, puts out good products, and generally benefits our clients - we aren't just scamming or selling ads, but we put out a product that just helps the system work. When we screw up, its generally because we treat our clients too good - giving them freebies, giving them white glove service without getting a thank you from management. The business is in a fortunate position to take advantage of the self inflicted screw ups of our competition, so it will continue to grow and be profitable in spite of itself.

Cons

The company will eat and burn every ounce of passion that you might have. The business does not care one iota about helping employees internally advance or skill up - you will be jammed into a job and HR will actively discourage you from trying to advance internally. The company prefers to hire randos from outside over growing internal talent: I can think of multiple times when someone inside the company advocated for a new position to be created - only for the position to be created by surprise so that no one internally is informed, and recruiting can bring some fresh graduate MBA in instead (before the person who suggested the position be created is even aware it was created). Sales is the only department that gets love, I assume because it directly brings money in the door. Every other department is purely viewed as a cost center You should expect annual raises to be lower than the rate of inflation. This company rewards firefighters over proactive action, because it refuses to spend a penny more than needed. The company constantly relies on duct tape and bubblegum to patch things together and make them work. Further, no one at this company is interested in being or making friends, so if you are looking toward work for *any* of your social needs, you will not find them here. People are only interested in going into work, being quiet, and going home - the company is extremely isolating (and I'm talking about before the pandemic), which in turn has contributed to years of suicide ideation for me.
