Interesting Work, Expanding Company, Scary Management

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The company creates well received products and is growing, which is gratifying for anyone who cares about their work.

Cons

As others have mentioned, the company is subject to the whims of the owner, which means that certain decisions can be questionable or worse. However, the biggest con by far is the way that people are let go with no warning. This happens all the time. When coworkers disappear overnight, the mood gets quite grim until some time has passed. And then, just when the last sting has faded from memory a little bit, it happens again.

A tiring and hard place to work

Pros

Talented and dedicated colleagues will keep you going. Nice office space although is decorated with some of the owner's art that is in bad taste.

Cons

Upper management rules with a heavy hand but do not communicate clearly on company direction or policy. HR type dealings are not correctly carried out. HR emails talk about performance improvement plan but people are let go all the time with no warning. It seems to be only because an upper manager did not like them. On the flip side, some employees have spent their full career at the company and have old bad habits from when the company was small that effect everyones progress, but manager continues to reward these favorite people.

Deceptive higher-ups who thrive on dishonesty and hostility!

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I work with are nice and supportive.

Cons

The higher-ups are some of the most deceitful and unpleasant people I've ever encountered. Lies are treated like standard practice, and honesty has no place here. Working here destroys your trust and motivation piece by piece.
