This company will suck you dry, then lay you off - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Razer

Extremely top-down organization where people are expected to blindly follow orders from above without question. The CEO’s word is gospel. Execs set unrealistic targets and crow about them throughout the year, while making terrible impulse decisions that cripple the business. Hypergrowth or profitability? BOTH. When the company inevitably falls short of its targets, which is every year, there is a round of layoffs where people who 1) are paid well and 2) have been outspoken about issues with the business are let go. Often, these people are actually crucial and there is no Plan B, so their responsibilities are split across several people who don’t know how to do them and are already spread too thin. We “share the pain,” as HR likes to say. If you are unfortunate enough to be one of these survivors, these responsibilities will become part of your everyday job forever despite repeated attempts to tell your manager that you’re burnt out from juggling multiple roles that aren’t relevant at all to your chosen career. They don’t want to hear it; it’s inconvenient. Also, the pay is on the low end of industry standard, and benefits/paid leave are literally the lowest they can possibly be for a company trying to hire people who aren’t desperate. Employee churn is alarmingly high; many new hires don’t make it past 1-2 years.
