Interesting times! - Implementation Manager Jellyvision Lab Employee Review

Company culture is top notch and my work and input is valued and appreciated. The team is stellar and we are doing great work!

It's tech, so there is always that possibility of layoffs looming...

Decent benefits, unlimited PTO. Talented and resilient people

Insecure leadership. Their business strategy does not give a strong sense of stability or solid direction. Their indecisiveness trickles down to direct managers, who are often hesitant to make decisions and quick to point fingers at their team members if things go wrong. In the beginning of the year there may be an idea of the direction, but later in the year priorities often shift in a reactive way. You can imagine the pressure this creates for employees who work hard to make initiatives succeed, only to find out the focus is changing again and they might get laid off as a result. It can feel like their business approach is to “throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks” repeatedly, and it seems like the company has been operating this way for several years. There are also many long-tenured employees who often default to “this is the way we do things,” even if it’s outdated, which can make it difficult and tedious to push for improvements. A lot of fresh, talented people end up leaving soon, probably because the company is too set in its own ways, fostering a culture that feels closed-off, cautious, and slow to innovate due to lack of strategic planning and low morale from repeated layoffs.
