Minpunten
- First, please beware that the recent positive reviews are not genuine. After an influx of genuine, negative reviews posted by a wave of former employees, the company was struggling to hire & management told current employees to post positive reviews rather than using the reviews as feedback to improve their management styles, their processes, and the experience for their employees (there’s a reason all the positive reviews are either a sentence long or posted by individuals with higher titles). - Extremely poor management by the c suite. You’re not valued and you don’t have a voice. Care is feigned through empty shoutouts and the bi-monthly social. They give no opportunity for feedback, and if you do speak up, you’re given a run-around answer that eventually shuts you down. Favoritism is blatantly obvious. - Promotions are NOT based on merit or performance, especially since you don't have any real metrics. Decisions regarding your growth are made based on “optics”. If you do get a promotion, it basically means nothing. Your responsibilities don’t change, your work stays the exact same; there is 0 professional growth - imagine how difficult that is when you’re looking for a new job. Salary and raises are below average. - They edge people out that they don't believe is a social fit for the team by excluding them and giving them grunt work. It became a running joke that we would wait every Friday for another email telling us the next person that was let go. I have never seen a turnover rate as bad as this. - Leadership does not know how to lead, manage a team, or run a business. The company has been around for 13 years, and they operate as a new startup. There is no structure, no guidelines, and it seems that every decision they make is guesswork rather than information based or data driven. There is no communication from leaders to the team - information is basically found out through word of mouth. They aren’t looking for employees, they’re looking for yes-men they can manipulate (I thought it was so fun that my team were all new grads like me until I understood why). - There is such a lack of product-market fit. They sell a wildly overpriced product to unsuspecting people with the promise of being able to find a job, which is virtually impossible in today’s market. It gets to a point where you start to feel like you’re scamming people. And unless you're in the c suite or one of their favourites, your ideas on the product and improvements will be brushed off. So, to those looking: if you’re a new grad struggling to find a role and just want an easy BDR role to put on your resume, go in with a short term mindset, and don’t let yourself be taken advantage of. To everyone else, I promise you'll find better elsewhere.
