Madison Reed reviews about "people"

A fast growth company means constant change and pivots of objectives. You'll need to be comfortable with that to fit in a be successful .

Highly political, high turnover, lack of trust among employees

Challenging communication & professional relationship dynamics

Coaching and feedback is minimal - development sometime feels like a buzzword but not an actual focus for most senior leaders in the company. Too many VPs (there are VPs for all possible areas) and not enough functional SMEs to help in the actual day to day work. CEO is driving the culture - without her there is no culture (I find this scary). Most C-team and VP level only care about revenue and not enough about the people. Too many ideas and not enough execution - C team doesn't understand the importance of strategic planning nor do they have a way to prioritize business initiatives. For a growing start-up there's little emphasis on planning, process, and tools. People just make decisions without understanding the long term impact, leaving lower level employees to handle the execution without support. Sometime you feel like you are set up to fail. Most leaders are short term focused and not enough senior leaders with vision setting and operations experience to make the long range strategy come to life.

No Work, Life, Balance Mediocre Management Training Lack of staffing and payroll Customers are allowed to be rude to staff

Where to begin.. -You can count on one hand the number of black or POC employees they have. Frequently saw microaggressions and a number of times when a black employee would call them out suddenly there are "problems" with the quality of their work. -DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. The majority of the Color Crew are women and they are CATTY. Any men they hire are worse than the women. They are in each others business. The worst is the leads, I couldnt believe how many times I could hear them gossiping about other coworkers constantly in the small room they made us sit in and they would talk about people whod been fired or quit or what they would see on social media. I'd hear some of them talking about how they wished to get demoted so they would get to work from home and not have to be in the office -They would threaten you with having to come into the office. If your numbers were suffering they dont ask how to support you or even phrase it like it would be helpful for you to come in, they just say if you dont improve you have to come in everyday, like its a punishment. Then suddenly everyone is just permanently working from home. -Nepotism is the name of the game here. You gotta know somebody to get promoted. If the CEO knows someone or wants something, suddenly you are being pressured into doing it. If a D list celebrity wants to get their hair done suddenly the whole place shuts down and youre literally told you better wear makeup and wear nice clothes and kiss butt. -They could care less about anybodys mental health. People be calling screaming at you and they tell you theyre "passionate". Id seen a couple of my coworkers cry coming out of meetings. One girl whod been there forever suddenly just disappeared. Guess I missed the gossip for that one. -No work life balance, they will guilt you and bully you into working overtime. If youre tired or burnt out they act like they dont understand cause you work from home -The CEO tries to tell you, you can come to her with anything. But really she just puts it back on your supervisor which gets you in trouble. -They treat their engineers like God, who in turn are condescending to everyone else. All these positive reviews from engineers are because they pay them $70-90k and they roll in at 11 and leave by 5. If you're unsure if they actually care about feedback, look at the responses they leave reviews from past employees. They DO NOT CARE.
