Just awful. - SEO Specialist OuterBox Employee Review

Their whole modus operandi is overworking people as much as possible. All SEO Strategists are effectively expected to work 50+ hours/week because they're given 15+ clients and if they raise issues, the department head and the CEO tell them they're just not working efficiently enough. Turnover is crazy high. Many people who got hired into the SEO department who had worked with other agencies or in-house didn't stay for even 6 months. They regularly underpay people, and in the SEO department you can only get a promotion *after* doing the additional work for 2-4 months. Then when you get promoted, you're expected to take on even more work to prove you're worth the raise. They just don't treat workers well or respect feedback at all. There's also a huge lack of diversity across the company and when I was there almost every woman in the SEO department told me they felt that leadership was misogynistic. Women are regularly looked over for promotions (there are zero women in leadership positions across the company) and told that they're being "sensitive" or "jealous" when they raise issues with leadership (this happened multiple times.) There is no maternity leave (you have to rely on disability insurance) and leadership is extremely vague about it whenever asked. They're also very protective of their "culture", which is basically frat bro culture mixed with Silicon Valley culture, minus the innovation and ping pong tables. Seriously, it's just awful. If you really need a gig, it's a paycheck. But for 99% of people this isn't somewhere you can build a career.
