HR has coerced many people to submit positive reviews on Glassdoor to combat the very true negative reviews. This effort is being done to get reviews of the company over 3 stars and more importantly, to get the approval rating of the CEO up over 40%. They are trying to get all the fake positive reviews at the top of the review board.
CRITICAL POINT: Make no mistake that this mismanaged company has literally hurt lives, it will set back personal savings and careers for many years due to the recent and upcoming layoffs. The irony......DataRobot is in the business of predicting outcomes - but they did not see this coming?????? Sad and pathetic.
The company used Covid as an excuse to clean house, when in fact this was due to mismanagement of the business. DataRobot is forcing people to publicly share that these layoffs were due to Covid, which is not true. This has been planned for at least a quarter or two. Instead of doing the right thing and letting people look for work prior to the layoffs, they let them all go in one day during a pandemic and now many are struggling to find any work. This was orchestrated, very cold and cruel.
Here are a few tidbits of what has occurred over the last 5 months:
1. Pricing - EPIC disaster. There have been roughly 8 versions of pricing over the last four years, let alone a couple of versions since Q1 and these are disastrous.
2. Sales people are not getting fully paid on their commissions after closing a deal. This is 100% accurate, they are told to take what they are given.
3. Our top sales producers are jumping ship, I am sure more are to come.
4. Dream BIG program - if you are ok with a company spending millions on a program to help others lose weight over saving jobs - then this is the place for you.
Bottomline, this place had great potential. But it is being run into the ground.
