- Constant emails and slide decks from the CEO suggesting “there are 168 hours, not 40 hours in the work week”. Not an ideal way to foster work life balance and keep up employee morale.
- Similarly, monthly emails from the CEO threatening layoffs
- All of the above creates a culture of fear, and an awful work environment
- My mental health was completely destroyed by this company and culture, and I know I’m not alone
- Keeper will claim that the weekly firings happened based on performance. However people are constantly let go when above quota.
- Goals were increased for the sales team, despite territories shrinking, and also not keeping the customers we sold to. Taking away the ability to sell expansions and upsells to try and hit an already astronomically high quota
- If firings happen because of performance, then why did I witness multiple people let go during their (or right after their) initial 3 month ramp?
- There was no conversation had with me regarding any kind of Performance Improvement Plan, or about performance in general being poor, or any kind of offer of help to get back on track (if needed). Just an out of the blue firing. Par for the course.
- No allowance for home office setup
- No 401K match
- No reimbursement for remote employees cell or WiFi bills
- Opinions are not encouraged, instead the culture of fear encourages bowing down to senior leadership instead, to try and avoid the inevitable firings.
- Unless you’re willing to spend your 168 hour work week feeding the ego’s of the C-Suite, then you risk the inevitable wrath
- Late night slacks, emails, and an expectation to respond to them is normal.
- Training and onboarding is non existent. But you better perform immediately the moment you start, despite that, or else!
- Health benefits are expensive and sub-par
- On a whim, the CEO can decide to rip out any discounts provided to partners, and customers, destroying any channel or customer relationships the sales reps had worked hard to build.
