Pros

Very 2000 dotcom environment with snacks, coffee, soda readily available. Midtown Manhattan office.

Cons

No good work goes unpunished. You must account for every second of your day. You are often required to spend more time writing up a report on what you did in a day, than actually doing any work. You can get a glowing performance review and get fired three days later. Being late to work from circumstances out of your control (like being stuck on the subway and thus being unable to notify your manager that you will be late because you are in a tunnel with no cell signal) is a fire-able offense.

SEI Novus Response

Thank you for sharing this feedback with our team. We are disappointed to hear that you didn't feel support and trust as it relates to being late to work due to subway delays. This is not something we have ever fired someone for because we are generally flexible and understanding to these types of circumstances - especially in NYC when subways are delayed so often. We try to treat everyone like an adult and ask that everyone maintain good communication with their managers when they will be out of the office. This is a standard guideline for many organizations. With regards to abrupt terminations, unfortunately this may sometimes happen at any business and it's not taken lightly or without immense thought and consideration. Performance reviews will typically align with disciplinary action, but there could be a situation where a role is no longer needed at the organization based on a variety of factors. Decisions like these are difficult and we do our best to ensure that involuntary terminations are handled with a lot of care and support for the individual so they have as smooth of a transition as possible. We truly appreciate this tough feedback and welcome further feedback to help us improve the employee experience at Novus. Feel free to contact us at talent@novus.com if you wish to discuss further.
