Rapidly Changing Company Leaves Employees with Little to Cling to

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

free lunch, nice free snacks, every healthy beverage you could ever want. Cold brew on tap! 5 weeks PTO. Everyone has a standup desk

Cons

No managerial or leadership training and little room for upward mobility within the firm. Most all roles are filled with outside hires. Company rapidly staffed up in 2019, held a mass layoff in q2 2020, and then continued to hire a few weeks after? And kept interns? Savage! Culture problems outlined in earlier reviews are not exclusive to the accounting department- the permeate the whole company.

Pros

Decent benefits 401k match..etc. Nice office space.

Cons

Departments are going through constant restructure/reorgs...Never communicated before hand. Communication of important information is non existent between departments and upper management. Constant over time and working weekends is expected..will never get to use the 25 days of PTO given. Hostile management...Will throw employees under the bus to protect themselves.
