Pros
There was plenty of potential for positives, but very little came to fruition.
Cons
Of the many companies that I've worked that, Fictiv is by far the most disappointing. The interview process was straightforward and the people seemed genuinely focused on building a culture as much as building the company itself. However, upon starting, it was very quick that there was very little support around you. I know turnover is relatively high in sales positions (when compared to other departments), but it truly seemed like the higher ups viewed sales people as completely expendable. Marketing was, by and large, owned by one person and one person alone - there were plenty of voices on that team but they were routinely drowned out, overpowered, and ignored in favor of nepotism. Operations had good contributors, but the many complaints and workplace issues were by and large brushed under the rug. Customer Support employees were under-appreciated and always stressed (this, on its own, isn't abnormal, which is a problem in general). Leadership was very unsupportive of its employees. Every single day, peers would talk about how they were thrown under the bus, yelled at for things out of their control (or not even within their job expectations), and more. The CEO was inspirational... until he wasn't. Other leaders were extremely hostile, even to people that didn't work for them in any way. The marketing department lost its lead in 2019 and the position was never filled again. Instead, someone without marketing knowledge filled in temporarily and, as a result, the team fell apart. I do think certain leads were positive leaders and created good environments for their employees, but not nearly enough. Overall, Fictiv talked a big game and delivered on very little. They claimed to care about diversity and inclusion, but often ignored the issues and complaints of those minority and female employees. Hiring feedback was, in most cases, completely ignored. All of this summed up to employees feeling like the company didn't care about them.
