Worst Company to work for

Pros

There are some great people at the organization, product has strong benefits.

Cons

This is arguably the worst organizational culture I have ever encountered. First of all looking at these reviews, they are completely falsified. This company had a 2.9 overall 3 months ago and now somehow has 5 stars with a 99% approval rating. Not sure how much the organization had to spend to take down the negative reviews. 2nd the CEO is a blind narcissist who constantly pits teams against eachother creating an atmosphere that is toxic and not conducive to teamwork and collaboration. This has been a private organization that has not been able to get over the hump for a solid 8-10 years of their 22 years of existence and it because the CEO and senior management who basically succumbs to anything the CEO Sumir wants does not challenge him. Any time any business line leader challenges the CEO they are swiftly fired and someone new is brought it and the cycle repeats and repeats. I cannot speak enough on how awful a person the CEO actually is and how little he cares about the people in his organization. He tries to paint a rosie PR glow around nice things that hes done or the organization is doing but all in all he treats all employees like they are servants and their opinions don't matter. This is the worst company you can go work for especially now as their solutions are becoming more and more antiquated with the increase pressure of microsoft, tanium, nexthink, and the like. Stay far away !!!

This review really saddens me. It’s such a personal attack from someone I don’t recognise, especially as you claim to have worked for 1E for over 5 years. I would like to correct some facts. We participate in external anonymised surveys every year and are rated as one of the best companies to work for by our employees. We have much longer tenure than industry averages, with 15 people returning to 1E (after having left) just in the last 2 years. We recently invented a new real-time platform to massively improve the Work from Anywhere (remote working) experience of all employees. If this is not relevant technology today then what is? We all are incredibly proud of this ground breaking technology, you can see it for yourself at www.1e.com/tachyon. Our revenue from this platform is more than doubling every year. Over the last year we have also helped the entire industry think about how to embrace hybrid working with the Work from Anywhere research and conferences, https://wfaconf.com. We have over half of the fortune 500 companies attend these conferences. The next conference is on 24th March. I wish you well and hope you find a company and role better suited to you.

Pros

-Talented engineers who are experts in their field -Excellent medical benefits. Fully paid and great coverage -Flexible work arrangement. Can work from home a lot. -Convenient office location located right across Penn Station

Cons

-Senior management, especially the CEO in London, in extremely incompetent at managing the company. I remember interviewing with the CEO via Skype and seeing him smile for 5 seconds and then resumed to a very awkward facial expression. He micromanages everything and runs the company with no strategy. Every decision is based on a whim. -HIGH turn-over rate. I repeat-HIGH turnover rate. I was there for less than a year and most of my colleagues I worked with are gone by now. Senior management conducts huge layoffs every quarter. Employee morale is low and office politics are toxic, so much so that everyone runs around finding new jobs while praying not to get fired before finding their next employer. -Management plays favorites. This is definitely an old boy's club. If you're in the club, you will be covered. If not, you're out the door the next day when management decides they need a new "direction".
