PRIDE Global reviews

This is the most toxic, belittling, and mentally exhausting place to work. They will work you to your very core, for embarrassingly low pay. If you’re not their shining Talent Acquisition specialist bringing them visible revenue, then you are worthless to them, despite how important your contribution is behind the scenes as Operations, HR, Marketing, Compliance, etc. The CEO acts like a King of his kingdom, and only his narcissistic opinion matters. The specially made paintings of Napoleon Bonaparte with the CEO’s face on them, hanging on office walls, say it all. You are told to speak up because they so-called “value your feedback”, but will immediately call you out at the mandatory weekly meeting, or just fire you. You are mandated to participate in all of their nonsense events and do it with a smile, because if you don’t then you don’t have any “team spirit”. This is their way of masking the terribly toxic environment with “oh look how fun we are” events. The obnoxiously loud music, Friday happy hours, and free snacks will never make up for all the core values that are lacking! The level of rumors in this place is exhausting. Everyone is at each other’s throats. The worst politics of any firm that I have ever worked for, obscene favoritism, and destructive behavior of “leadership”. As far as integrity goes, there is none. Documentation forgery is coined as “arts and crafts” and is easily overlooked if that means more revenue for the company. In my almost 2 years with this firm, I have witnessed more turnover than I ever thought possible. More people have quit this place than I can even count. What’s is “AIKIDO”, you might ask? Well, it’s one of their many completely bogus, made-up concepts that everyone has to abide by. If you don’t go to a stupid event, you’re not acting in accordance with AIKIDO. If you have your own opinion, also against AIKIDO. If you’re called on during the weekly meeting and you don’t know what all the letters in AIKIDO stand for, well then be prepared to feel like garbage. Everything they created is absolutely fake and meaningless, with very little constructive reasoning behind it. Lastly, people in leadership positions simply do not and cannot act like leadership. They do it know what it takes to have integrity, loyalty to their subordinates, and earn the trust of others. If these reasons are not enough for you to walk away from your offer, then enjoy having to sing in front of everyone at the mandatory weekly meeting, on your very first day. Yes, you heard that right, good luck!

The CEO wants to have “a diverse company” but refuses to let the DIVERSITY and INCLUSION coordinator do what her title says she should do. No one has a fair chance in this company unless you’re in the CEO’s “lions den”. It’s all empty promises and fake smiles telling you everything you want to hear, when in reality it’s all lies. They build you up just to tear you down and they genuinely enjoy it, especially the Talent Engagement team. They’re so quick to blame the employee for all their mistakes when realistically, they’re the one making them. The fact that the events team has had 2 people quit and 3 people fired in the last 10 months, by the SAME person, is absurd and speaks for itself. Don’t waste your time.
