Joined excited. The potential felt real, and the people are genuinely good. What you don't see coming, commitments don't stick here. You'll be told what you need to hear to stay motivated, and then watch nothing change. When things go wrong, the company looks at the person, not themselves. Roles are poorly defined, direction shifts constantly, and by the time you realize that you were never set up to succeed, it's already too late.
Leadership doesn't know what they want. Rather than listening to the people they hired, they cycle through outside consultants with each one bringing a new direction, new priorities, new frameworks. Then the next one arrives, and it all shifts again. The people inside are left absorbing the whiplash.
HR exists to protect leadership, not employees. If you ever need someone in your corner, don't count on finding them here.
Some people leave. Some get pushed out quietly. Some stay and grind through it. None of those outcomes are about the individual, they all point to the same place.
Note on the 5-star reviews: Pay attention to when they were posted and how long those reviewers had been there. Read the patterns, not the stars.
Bottom line: Promises don't get kept. Direction changes with every new consultant. Leadership says the right things and does something else. If you're looking for stability, clarity, or a place that will genuinely invest in you, keep looking.
