Alchemer reviews

There are so many cons that outweigh the pros. I’ve listed many of them below, but I highly suggest going farther back in the reviews and not only reading past negative ones but also reading the former CEO’s condescending and rude responses that seem to make a mockery out of the concerns raised in the posts -- I wish I had. They give a pretty good sense of how management feels about employees. - They got a new interim CEO that completely changed the marketing strategy immediately and laid off the entire department (except the manager) due to the previous strategy “not performing.” As mentioned previously, that department included someone who was moved out to Colorado for the job and then laid off two months after moving. - The executive team has a very “my way or the highway” attitude, although they act like they want ideas from the organization; and they are often extremely unprofessional (including one executive using the r-word in a meeting to describe a client with whom this exec was on the phone mere moments before). - They hire people with experience in their role and then don’t listen to their expertise whatsoever. - There is a massive lack of opportunities to grow and advance your career in any way. - There is blatant favoritism from management, but no one seems to care about that. The “boys club” comment in the previous review is beyond accurate. If you even remotely rock the boat or question a decision, you’re kicked out of the inner circle. - Management can say they “care about their employees” all they want, but they wouldn’t blatantly disregard employees’ thoughts and concerns if that was the case. - Many people are not respectful at all, and they only care about being friendly when they need something from you. But people outside of your department often do not care about or have any respect for your time or priorities. - The company hosts all-company “huddles” every other Thursday, and employees can anonymously ask questions to the executive team via a survey beforehand that are answered during the meeting. On a disturbing amount of occasions, people’s questions are just ignored or the answers beat around the bush because the executives clearly can’t be legitimately transparent with their employees. - There is a LOT of micromanagement. You’re basically just going through the motions everyday without putting any critical thought as to WHY you’re doing something or how it could be made better.

- Lack of career growth to any employee who shows promise. - Old boy's club mentality despite women on the leadership team -- very clear favoritism. - Deceitful and discriminatory for those not in the inner circle. - When culture questions are brought to the attention of leadership, they dodge the response. - They do not set up employees for long-term success. - The entire marketing team, except the manager, was laid off and walked out in front of the entire company -- on the day the company hit record sales -- after being told they were not performing against a strategy that was dictated by leadership despite pushback from the team -- a strategy that the team was told was an experiment they would not be held accountable for it falling flat -- talk about a new level of humiliation. - Despite leadership expressing to all employees during company meetings that under-performing employees would be given plenty of time to correct course, the marketing department was allegedly "underperforming" and was laid off without warning whatsoever or any indication of poor performance.
