Talented colleagues, but management and culture severely lacking. Avoid at all costs. - Anonymous employee Labelbox Employee Review

Labelbox stays true to form on the glassdoor reviews. When I initially interviewed, I asked about the negative reviews only to find a script that interviewers are trained to address them. Unfortunately, I fell for those responses. To start with, there is a high level of turnover, in an instant and without so much as a mention or trace, people just vanish out of the company. I've never seen so much churn in one place in my entire career, from upper management all the way down to ICs. Your projects change a lot over time, you have no idea if what you're building will even amount to anything, and yet you're expected to support those projects across its life cycle. Work life balance? No such thing exists here for a lot of team members (not all but most team members). If there is a client deadline for something you work on, be ready to cancel all your plans. Not only that, the systems are extremely brittle and when things break the IC's are the pain sponges with oftentimes no real systemic rectification by the feature owners. Lastly, management is clueless and inept. Management are essentially yes-men to the CEO. Most if not all of them lack vision and quite frankly are not very competent leaders. Growth? Only if management likes you. There is no real direction and it's an organization that is reactive in that they chase trends in the market and sacrifice on a lot of existing clients/programs to do so. They are coasting off their series B from 2021, old enterprise contracts, some new ones. Despite having been around longer than most companies in the space, many newer companies have already leapfrogged them significantly. All in all, this company treats employees like expendable mules, and also lack business and innovation sense and direction. Worst of all worlds.
