COVID revealed red flags there the whole time - werkgeversreview Technician bij Conference Technologies

Fun team and culture. You can learn a lot from the team around you. Management checks in and seems to care about continued learning opportunities.

No longer hybrid and back to the office this year.

The team I worked with was very skilled and we all worked well together, I made a lot of friends while working here.

I'll list out the cons as bullet points to make things simpler: - I started this position with it being fully hybrid, and worked that way with no issues for over a year. In Jan of 2026 the CEO announced everyone needed to return to office full time; however, this involved many exceptions. Much of management was able to stay fully remote, and many of my colleagues that were at the same level, or junior to me; but closer connected to the CEO/management were permitted to keep their hybrid or remote schedules. - The CMO has no marketing experience, while also being not very open to the suggestions of people he hires that do have marketing experience. - There were multiple people who reported the CMO for harassment to HR and nothing was done, one employee was fired shortly after the report was made, and four people quit after that. -It is definitely a 'boys club' environment, myself and other female employees were told to smile, accused of gossiping and reprimanded for discussing our wages. -High turnover: a total of 9 people were either fired or quit the marketing team in the 2 years that I have worked here. -Only 6 out of 13 federal holidays are given off. The time between Jan 1 and May 25 there are no holidays given by CTI, the reasoning was that the clients/partners don't take those days off; however, most people that we schedule outside meetings with will not accept meetings requested on those holidays due to being out of office. -Your PTO is not actually owned by you until the end of the fiscal year, so if you quit after using all of it before that time, you will be asked to pay it back. - The office flooded multiple times with mysterious water from the men's bathroom and the carpet was never replaced so there is a bit of a smell. - After the return to office mandate, there were multiple people that would keep tabs on me and my teammates to see when we arrived/left, and what we were doing, despite no delays in our work or any other problems.
