First and foremost, if you are looking for a positive and inclusive work culture, one where you feel valued and will have opportunities to grow with the company, this is not the place for you. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is a toxic culture. If you read other reviews, you will learn others agree. I believe this starts at the top, Ryan Anderson, the CEO. Managers are only concerned about themselves. If they don't like you or something you did/or not doing, you have a permanent target on your back. Without warning, several of my colleagues were written up, threatened with PIPs. No coaching or previous discussion. Expectations are high and if you are not living up to them, you are out. When I first started, I was excited about the company's grow growth and future. There was alot of positive energy from the SLT and seemed to care about their employees. Amazing benefits, such as Unlimted PTO, First Fridays, only work half a day, given Swag Bucks to purchase FV "swag", which ranged from Tshirts to LuLu Lemon jackets. It was a really fun place to work. Then, after about 9 months in, Senior Leadership announced a significant business model change was coming. They decided to utlize 3rd Parties, referred to as "Partners", to conduct their software implementation. Many Consuktants immediately jumped ship, either to Partners or elsewhere. The rest of us stayed, as FV promised multiple times they would find jobs for us. .At this point, the culture shifted drastically. No more swag bucks, people felt uncertain and insecure with having a job and management seemed to be more aggressive to get rid of people. On December 5th, FV announced layoffs would occur on January 4th. On this same day, one of the managers boasted about their promotion to Director on LinkedIn. ( Remember I mentioned earlier that Managers were about themselves?) This impacted almost every team, such as Implementation, Migrations, Marketing and Sales. Folks were told to find a job with a Partner during the weeks of Christmas. ( Fine time to search for jobs- not only is a holiday approaching, but many companies are not hiring, aside from Partners). Unfortunately, the 30+ Partners were unable to absorb everyone. Infact, some Partners were unaware of the situation, wondering why they were receiving multiple resumes. Now, on top of all this, FV, more specifically, Ryan Anderson - CEO, denies layoffs. Yes, you read correctly, DENIES layoffs. I was one of many laid off. Like many others, I was unable to secure employment with a Partner and given a very small severance pkg. While companies are not obligated to offer severance, I suppose I should be appreciative. However, I am not. I feel we were treated unfairly, over promised and lied to. For the "fortunate" who were retained, they are overwhelmed, stressed beyond comprehension and feel management does not care. They are taking on the work of all those let go. But wait, that is not it. Some had a sense of security, they kept their jobs. FV announced a second round of layoffs, which impacted Trainers, Automations and again, Implementations. They were also told more layoffs were coming. But remember...FV has not and is not, laying off. Anyone questioning FV as their next career opportunity, I urge you to read all the reviews in recent months. That is a true snapshot. And for those positve reviews, pay attention to their position and department.
