Inexperienced management, Toxic culture, Constant layoffs - Anonymous employee Ensighten Employee Review

Previous reviews touched on a whole host of things that are wrong with Ensighten. I agree with almost all of them and don’t wish to repeat, but I’ll add my own perspective. The biggest reason for why Ensighten is a bad place to work is - Ensighten does not value people. Here are the titles of employees that were laid off in the last 6 months - CFO, SVP of Engineering, SVP of Product, SVP of Sales, VP of Sales, VP of Marketing, VP of Product, Sr. Director of Product, Director of Engineering & countless other IC level employees. You can imagine how much depth remains in the leadership ranks after so many senior level folks are let go. Company fires employees arbitrarily and without any due process. I’d be surprised if half the folks that are still there aren’t already looking for other jobs. Top management has no integrity. Besides mis-representing product capabilities to prospects, they’re also poaching employees from competitors and using them to learn competitors’ secrets. In a company meeting, CEO acknowledged a rumor circulating internally that 30+ people will imminently be laid off and flat out denied that there was any truth to that rumor. In the next 3 weeks, 30+ people were laid off. So the rumor was completely true, then why be dishonest with your employees? CTO spends 3/4th of time helping the sales team close deals. No one from Engineering reports to the CTO, and neither is the CTO involved in any product development initiatives. Then how is the title of CTO justified? Just so that sales team can claim to prospects that we brought our CTO to talk to you. A few employees that are within the inner circle of the CTO/CEO think that they rule the place and are also well rewarded with promotions. Allegations of sexual harassment are also true. A female employee filed a complaint against the CTO and management made everyone in the company go through harassment training after that. Engineering team is very weak. Except for a handful of smart people, most are either fresh grads or have limited experience. HQ almost always has a deserted look. On any given day, 3/4th of employees are “working from home”. For some teams, there are days when every single member is missing. CTO comes into office probably 2-3 days a month. CEO is there every day, but almost never walks the floor to interact with employees. Here’s a question to management : How many ex-employees (even if you only ask those that left Ensighten on their own) do you honestly think will say yes to working for you again in future? If you’re unable to list anyone, that should tell you enough about the kind of culture you’ve built at Ensighten.
