A company lacking in diversity with inauthentic leadership and zero career growth opportunity - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij TuneIn

Weak Leadership and Company Culture: This company is run by weak leadership that doesn't understand anything about its employees. I believe a previous review of the company described leadership as the “Queen Bee from Mean Girls” and that analogy is spot on. If you are in the graces of particular execs, you will possibly have a future at this company. However, if you refuse to brown nose, good luck getting promoted. The environment of the company, a byproduct of the exec team, is terrible and you basically need to be in a select clique to excel at TuneIn. There are managers at this company who try to intimidate and get in your face to incite the output they desire. You might end up at a company happy hour where members of leadership will try to haze new hires with bicep beer chugs. In general, this company is filled with decent people who are not equipped or trained to be managers. The company is terrible at training employees to be good people managers and there are not many people left at the company who is able to do this effectively. Most of these managers are puppets to the execs – they aren’t empowered to grow their direct reports’ careers as everything is essentially decided by the higher ups. No career growth: There is no review process or assessment of employees’ performances, so raises and promotions are given based on who execs like instead of based on the quality or amount of work someone does. The company has tried to address this and tried to implement different processes, all of which have failed. The execs let people go at a whim and promote based on whoever talks the loudest about their accomplishments and sends the most emails. Some managers have good intentions and actually want to grow their employees however this is restricted by the few execs who control everything. Lack of Diversity: Of the executive team, all but one person is male or white. There is not a single female or non-white director level employee. Management (lack of) Authenticity: Every time a negative feedback is received, management pretends to make a huge fuss, calls an all hands or staff meeting and states that they recognize the issue and that it is a key initiative for them to solve the issue. They implement one surface level initiative to try and solve the problem and don’t follow up or check if anything is resolved and the issues continue. This is a common theme at this company. Leadership doesn’t care about its employees at all, they pretend to care and put in place surface level policies to make the employees feel valued. But as time progresses, their true intentions show and it is evident that leadership does not care at all and will let any employee go at any time as has happened multiple times in the past. Shift in Company Culture: Ever since the recent expansion of marketing, the company culture has shifted to be more marketing centric and incredibly more male dominated. The marketing team is spending the company’s money like they're Lil Wayne at a strip club. Leadership within marketing is viewed pretty poorly within the company due to incompetence. Also, the company is no longer a technology company as it has shifted to become a media company.
