Ability to make an impact

Pros

There is a lot of freedom and autonomy when working for Shift. If personal and professional growth is your goal, the opportunities are limitless. Collaborating with exceptional partners and clients, we engage in exciting projects that make a significant impact for our clients.

Cons

If you are someone that needs to be micro managed/not a self starter, this is probably not the organization for you. You are treated like an adult and expected to deliver results without someone checking in with you every step of the way.

Poor leadership sinking the ship

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The people I've worked with on delivery teams are almost exclusively great. Most people in general are pleasant to work with. Salaries and benefits are fair. Remote workplace seems valued except for some snide comments about it from C-Suite.

Cons

Some of the worst leadership I've seen anywhere. Everyone in the C-Suite is clearly in over their heads. They have some decent people in the lower levels of senior leadership, but many of those are recent promotions. CEO mentions poor performance in company meetings, but seems to take no responsibility for it. Significant amounts of gaslighting from leadership (see the comments replying to glassdoor reviews). Those working in delivery were regularly made to feel bad for not billing enough hours, while sales was regularly praised for selling projects designed to fail. Revenue is down over 50% and leadership seems to exclusively blame "the economy." Company is so desperate to sell anything they take unreasonable deals and let clients get away with whatever they want, then blame delivery teams when projects go over budget or deliver lower quality work. No raises or regular promotions in the last 2 years, though they did recently convert bonus to base salary. Good luck getting promoted if you're not a white woman.

Pros

Just The tech people are good

Cons

Everything bad one can think of. The managment is extremely unsupportive and they are inhuman towards employees health. They asked me to resign when I fell sick after 6 months of no leave.
