Poor Leadership, Worse Benefits
Poor Leadership, Worse Benefits
The day-to-day team members are great.
Expected 50 hour work week (less than 45 hours will lead to a "nuanced" separation). Constant restructuring of company organization leads to people doing jobs not related to what they were hired for.
Benefits are constantly being reduced/removed. No company sponsored work events (i.e. happy hours). No internal promotions.
Treat employees more like people than resources to increase retention. Focus on quality of life at the company rather. Hire more people if work is slipping, don't demand workers stay 25% longer.
