Pros

Free monthly clothing stipend and on-site events.

Cons

HR leader is abusive and C level was informed but they did nothing to change her behavior. When entire departments leave because of hostile work environment, pay attention. Just Google and you will find out more. They have favoritism and gossip about each other, even Officers to subordinates, it’s toxic.

Pros

No Pros at all for this company.

Cons

Employees Not treated well. Expected to Not follow laws and treat others poorly. Very Superficial. Does not do charity, events, or special days for the positive, but only to look good regarding the Public Opinion of them - look at the posts on their website. Some of the 'charity' is deceptive and after seeing the terms of the charity, it is not charity at all. Staff are not on the consumers side at all - even when knowing the truth. The way to get ahead in this company is by treating people including staff poorly, flat out lying to people and staff, making extra Money for the company using Illegal means, sucking up to upper managers, giving good reviews to try to get ahead.

Hi there, Thank you for taking time to leave a review on glassdoor. I'm so sorry you did not have a good experience with Sequoia. Our company culture is built on the foundation of integrity. This includes how we treat others, ensuring that we comply with all laws, and giving back to our local communities through our purpose program. It's clear we fell short in your expectations of us in this area. I do hope the very best for you - Enrica

Pros

average salary/hourly, benefits, time-off, location

Cons

Micromanagement and mismanagement in accounting and HR that leads to big turnover and low moral Employees in accounting enjoy micromanagement. The desks are monitored for the amount of paper on them, the placement of pens, picture etc. Talks among employees are discouraged. 2-3 minutes about work are still ok. Don't let the job posting fool you: sense of humor is definitely not welcomed. {Edited} has a cold attitude with the employees and usually conducts conversations thru {Edited}, who is the {Edited} accounting department. By the way, {Edited} does not have any power in directing and managing team, he/she is there just to communicate the {Edited} wishes. Morale in the company is pretty low, especially in these departments. Any rule violation will be reported to HR where they are happily put it into the employee file, to prepare for their 2-3 year turnover activity. HR welcomes you, especially their {Edited}, but they are there to save the management and not deal with the employee. There was a point where {Edited} forced HR reps to come up with reasons to fire certain employees, hence turnover in HR department is big as well. Certain employees did come up with evidence to write up other employees. This process of getting rid of the employees usually takes 2-3 years.
