Gigster reviews

Management does not understand the company, industry, or what we were selling ... our talent network. New executives pushed out the original CEO and leadership team; they came in to turn the company into something 'great'. I've never seen a growing, emerging, and exciting company fail as fast as Gigster has. It was such a disappointment. I had many hopes and dreams when I joined this company; a lot was promised, and none of it was delivered. I'm glad I got out when I did. There is no career progression here. Management was doing a lot of questionable things when it came to financing, and continues to do so. Management did not honor sales commissions / sales contracts which is against the law.

- The new CEO at Gigster did a mass round of lay-offs 3 weeks into his role, in which I believe he didn't do his research on the business impacts of these teams. He let individuals and departments go that just a mere several months after the lay-offs they started hiring for the roles again. - The sales team would show up at 10am and leave at like 3 or 4pm. If you work at at a startup you need to be scrappy and hard working and I didn't see this mentality across the larger sales team. There were certainly specific individuals that worked hard but one of their core values was impact over hours. People abused this value and left little impact and performed few hours in their roles. - The modes of communication between employees were hostile. I heard comments coming from employees telling one another to shut up, swearing at peopling, derogatory comments towards women, using terminology for mentally handicapped people as negative connotations in conversation etc. - The day the lay-offs took place were so grossly mishandled, pretty much everyone in the office knew that they were going to be laid off several hours before it actually took place. It was a nasty situation for both the employees being let go and the current employees.
