You're So Vain

Pros

Fully paid benefits offering $500/month allowance towards medical/dental/vision. Remote/hybrid schedule offered. Responsive team members.

Cons

A company that cares more about appearances than fixing problems. Pulse surveys that were mandated by the CEO that were not anonymous and then you are singled out for sharing your feedback. A self-righteous, condescending, and hypercritical CEO that says there are endless opportunities for those that create them but really its a "figure it out and impress me" attitude that results in overworked and burnt out employees plus a HUGE lack of processes all around. Leadership wants to be "hip" and "cool" but really they are out of touch with employees which results in numerous meetings to piece information together. Meetings are unproductive and there are too many of them.

Greedy company that doesn't put employees first. Massive negative culture change over the last year.

Pros

Had some fun culture events. A lot of this companies appeal is the remote work environment. HR was great and always seemed to try to make the employee experience better, but there's only so much they could do when CEO and Board doesn't listen to anyone.

Cons

When I started at Genea years ago they had a great culture and many employees that had been their a long time and those people made Genea what it was. The company started not doing as well financially and the CEO panicked and let go some of the best employees that made Genea what it was. All the decisions are made by the Board and CEO and it is run as a dictatorship by just a couple people that are highly out of touch with the employees and their needs. The employees are no longer put first. There is a lot of talk at monthly townhall meetings about how well the company is doing but come time for employee raises they say they don't have the funds, yet people at the top I heard were still getting significant raises. They did a large layoff and let go so some really high performing people that were great culture adds too. There's a couple great people still here, but other than that the company is really going downhill and losing touch of what made it special (the people).

Executive Team is a Joke

Pros

Good pay but not worth your sanity.

Cons

Executive team is a joke, especially the CEO Michael. Completely full of themselves and atop arrogant to see they’re the downfall of the company. Nothing gets done around here.
