XYZ Reality reviews

Horrendous leadership who continue to lie to staff and make terrible decisions. The product is a quality based construction product that was to expensive for the target market, so they pivoted and added progress checking but it doesn't work properly. The leadership will lie to get you in, offer minimal training or support, but thankfully the team will pull together, but the sales process is bottle necked by one person meaning there is not enough revenue coming in to support the business. Add in to this the CEO is out burning cash at an astonishing rate trying to get more investors who have no interest in the false promises and hope. With a moments notice a large % of the company can and will be laid off, so all in all they have a product that doesn't fit its market, if they do find business it needs to go through a single person, they lie to everyone to get what they want and in return offer no security or future.

The team I worked in is understaffed and overworked, we had too many products and too few people. The expectations are astronomical for the team size. Other teams are now run extremely lean, leading to them being overworked. There is a real divide between software/hardware teams and the engineers in the field. The engineers are running as operators of the hardware and service so rarely interact with teams in the London office. Their teams are rarely hit by layoffs, shielding them from the moral and social impact of them. Some of them have drunk too much of the koolaid. Constant monthly all hands telling us how we're doing so well in terms of sales and profitability goals. Then follow up with the second round of redundancies citing the company "needing to respond to the market". Open forum answers might be vague or unsatisfying. You live in fear of the email appearing in your inbox titled "All Hands - All Employees Attendance Required". You will proceed to watch the CEO read a script from a screen telling you your job might be on the line. Poor management, constant layoffs, staff are disposable, promise to review your pay despite never doing it. Direction was constantly changing, leaderships appetite is too big thus making it unrealistic and often needing to pivot. My role was at risk despite me being the only one with that job title, so that felt like I was being targeted. CEO and other sales team members went to Cannes a few weeks after the layoffs, posting on LinkedIn on how great Cannes is and how good the conference was. This felt tone deaf.
