Notice the amount of positive reviews from people here less than a year. Reviews are encouraged by HR soon after new hires start as a way to boost the overall rating for recruitment.
At first impression, it does seem like a great company. They love to talk big and it may seem refreshing, but if you pay attention you’ll see:
-Rampant sexism, racism, nepotism, cronyism, discrimination, exploitation, exclusion, ostracism, inappropriate relationships, harassment, bullying, favoritism, and unethical behavior.
-Different rules depending on who you are; no respect or boundaries.
-Unequal treatment, pay, and benefits, which are non-competitive.
-Self-aggrandizing senior / middle management; they refuse to deal with problems and love to gaslight concerns. I don’t even know what they do all day.
-Weak HR and "people org" that is too involved in politics and drama to be taken seriously or fix anything.
-Internal / external deception to employees and clients.
-Everything is an emergency; constant firefighting and short-term memory lulls people into the status quo; never enough time or resources.
-Being expected to take plane trips to client sites with very little notice.
-Zero diversity in senior leadership, but started a DEI group so they can give the appearance that they care to applicants who ask.
-Account executives over promise and teams under deliver, leading to unhappy clients.
-Dishonesty; information hoarding so people can get ahead; misleading information given to clients; others taking credit for work they didn't do.
-Embarrassing teammates lacking skills, qualifications, or knowledge to do the job, so they fake it and leave it to others; employees of 3+ years are the most problematic.
-Low maturity departments.
-Extremely high turnover with constant restarts that become exhausting, even though the company is almost 20 years old.
-Management not invested in their teams, because there’s no point—re-orgs happen that frequently.
-"Factory production line" mindset to software development leads to resentment among team members and poor client outcomes.
-Always introducing new initiatives that are abandoned no sooner they start.
-Everything—yes, everything—is viewed through the lens of a dollar sign.
-Layoffs usually happen in March and September.
