Covista reviews

One of the biggest downsides of working for this organization was the lack of transparency from leadership, including the C-suite, VPs, directors, and direct supervisors. The company describes itself as “fast-paced,” but much of that appears to stem from high turnover rather than healthy growth. Layoffs and job eliminations seem to be common. In my experience, advancement often depended more on office politics than performance. There was limited opportunity for growth unless you were favored by upper management, and favoritism in promotions was noticeable during my time there. Leadership turnover was also frequent, which created instability. Many senior leaders seemed disconnected from day-to-day realities and often remained in their roles for only a year or two before being replaced or removed. Compensation was below market value, and annual merit increases were often delayed to the following year, with raises typically capped around 4–5% despite heavy workloads and expectations. It was also difficult to raise concerns openly. Speaking with directors or challenging the status quo could backfire, which discouraged honest communication. Overall, I would not recommend this organization unless you are in urgent need of employment and are comfortable with low pay, limited growth opportunities, and feeling undervalued.

-Because Covista is so large, project management and general organization was a challenge.
