Support senior leadership- No empathy or integrity

Pros

I guess it's the paycheck

Cons

only been at bullhorn amost a year, but i cant keep quiet about this. it would mean I agree with Support management and I don't. Support leaders announced they were bringing in a senior manager to help with change, bring new ideas, mentor young leaders, etc. This on the heels of negative racial, gender and leadership reviews and wouldn't you know, this person fit all categories. i think they were strategic in who they hired for this. We were all excited because we desperately needed change in Support. Only to see this person being a 'supervisor' day after day. No chance of actually doing what they was hired for, but what senior leadership needed-another supervisor to manage analysts day to day work. Oh yeah, the other supervisors were slammed with too many people This was an awesome leader who was USED! I heard other supervisors and leads excitement that this person arrived only to be disaapointed that it wasn't for the reason they were told. I cannot be quiet and no need for me to go to HR- senor leadership in support doesn't listen to HR; they spin it to fit what HR needs to hear. I hope this person didnt leave another job to come to a place on a broken promise. if so, they need to be compensated!! They are leaving bullhorn and I hope they find a place where they can be the change they were supposed to be at bullhorn. bullhorn is losing a great leader and support leadership could have learned a lot from them. leadership should have never let this happen. This person actually cared about people, showed it AND WE BELIEVED IT!!! you not only lied to them, but you lied to us!!!!

This review hit us, including me personally, hard. It took a while to respond to this review because we wanted make sure that we’d communicated an action plan to the team first. It's clear that senior leadership wasn't a good job listening to the needs for change in support. As a result, a lack of trust surfaced in this part of the business. We have since gone out on a listening tour, and based on what we learned we have kicked off a number of initiatives so that we can be more receptive to changes that are needed in the business. For instance, we've established an ambassador program to formalize a process for surfacing new ideas for how we can create a better work experience. Other initiatives are also underway as described in a recent town hall. Nevertheless, we understand that we have a lot of work to do win back your trust, and we hope that you will stick with us as we embark on this transformation. And, as always, if you want to talk to me directly, just message me on slack or email.

Pros

I can't think of any pros to working at Bullhorn.

Cons

Women don't have the same opportunities as men. The environment is toxic and upper management is constantly yelling at employees. Blame is pushed downwards, even when management is at fault. I would not recommend that anyone I like work here.

Pros

Comprehensive benefits package (health/dental/accident/life insuance, 401k/Retirement) Remote First Company Inclusive culture

Cons

Pay rate is frustratingly low with the given increased workloads with tight deadlines Always running understaffed given the increasing client demand for support Unsteady Management/Lack of Support (I changed managers 5 times during my 1yr8mo employment due to constant restructuring/heightening expectations on Support management that trickled down) Upper Management pushes unrealistic workload while expecting to align with constantly changing metrics (which you will be scrutinized on a weekly basis for) while Support struggles to maintain the breakneck work pace expectations set for them by upper management. This seems to largely be due to the company continuously pushing new features to stay ‘innovative’ No clear path of advancement due to constant restructuring,causing displacements within teams/less coverage to allow advancement to occur **They sing about ‘unlimited’ overtime, but this comes with a HUGE asterisk. Of course it’s not unlimited, but your metrics will actually suffer due to your absence (that’s right, your metrics are still being calculated and then counted against you while you're out of office for more than a day because you weren’t productive!) which you will be held accountable for upon your return.**

Appreciate the time you took to write this. Since that time, I think we've made some strides in improving our communcation and feedback from front line employees in Support, resulting in some significant changes that were unnecessarily contributing to a stressful working environment within the team, including staffing up. Those changes are making a HUGE improvement. I wish you the best in your next role! Kelley Morse, CPO
