Engrain paints itself as a rapidly growing tech startup when in reality, it is a struggling company clawing for market share and money. Since accepting money from outside investors, Engrain has been on the hunt to hit excessive and unrealistic sales goals, creative a pressure cooker within the company because teams simply cannot handle the the increased volume. Certain, non-glamorous, client-facing roles are underpaid and have a constant revolving door of great employees coming and going because of the intense pressure, workload, expectations, and Engrain’s inability to support them.
Leadership is toxic- not everyone, specifically two-three team leads are unwilling to change the way they do their jobs as the company grows, causing massive problems. The CEO is unwilling to notice and blind to these team leads as he is focused on hitting the bottom line, which should be the least of his worries. Between the lack of transparency, terrible communication between teams, firing employees without warning and just cause, Engrain needs major help from HR and a good hard look at who is leading their teams. BE AWARE- employees are planning exit routes before Engrain completely damages its reputation.
