Pros
Made friends with colleagues (bond by common struggle)
Cons
Working at Eastridge was extremely challenging due to constant instability. You never knew what to expect from leadership. Goals, priorities, and strategies changed week to week, often without explanation. Managers regularly contradicted one another, and there was a clear lack of alignment across leadership, which made it difficult to trust direction or feedback. The professional and industrial divisions do not operate as a unified organization. In practice, they often work against each other rather than collaboratively, creating unnecessary friction and confusion. Despite repeated assurances that layoffs had ended after the “first phase,” then the second, then the third, people continued to be let go. This created a culture of anxiety and distrust. The environment felt reactive rather than strategic. Micromanagement was a constant issue, particularly for recruiters and sales professionals. Autonomy is promised during interviews, but the reality is heavy oversight and constant scrutiny until many people eventually leave on their own. Calls are monitored, meetings must be reported upward, and expectations change frequently without clear reasoning. Leadership credibility was also a concern. Public behavior from senior leaders made it difficult to take coaching seriously and raised questions about professionalism and company values. Many of the positive reviews appear to come from current managers, often clearly identifying their title and market, which does not reflect the broader employee experience. The organizational structure is extremely top-heavy. There are layers of managers, directors, and VPs with unclear ownership or authority, while individual contributors carry the bulk of the work. Decision-making feels centralized, slow, and disconnected from day-to-day realities. Bottom Line If you are a recruiter or in sales, do deep due diligence before accepting an offer here. Do not rely solely on what is presented during the interview process. If you’re considering a role here, take the time to speak with former employees on LinkedIn. Their perspective will tell you far more than the interview process.
