Many of the negatives reviews below are true, I would like to give further insights as someone who was in a leadership role and worked closely with other leaders:
1) Leaders do not care about your work/life balance. They only care about your output and believe as leaders they have to push and find ways to get the most out of employees
2) people worked through covid and leadership allowed it (look at point #1). People had covid in the office and high risk individuals were forced to come to the office and not allowed to work remote.
3) Extreme micro-management like I have never seen before, bring about a new level toxicity
4) leaders will lie to employees to get them to work harder and increase output. "Whatever it takes" to get results
5) fake open positions were created to give employees the idea that advancement opportunities are available. This was done to drive employees to work harder. Due to a large amount of people leaving, there was discussion around promoting someone but with a low salary to keep costs low.
6) employees are known to have to work very late, weekends and even holidays like Christmas. Leadership will expect and send emails/asks anytime they feel fit.
7) In a leadership meeting, executive leadership demanded everyone work more, come to office earlier and leave later. Also implied that promotions/raises/bonuses would only be given to those who work more. Note people were already working alot, I could not believe what I was hearing.
8) employees who complain about the work life balance are labeled as defeatist, weak, untalented, etc.
9) while out after work hours, leadership thought it would be funny to insult waiters.
10) the culture is toxic, you have to embrace this weird mentality that groundworks is perfect and the best place to work. You have be one of the "tribe".
11) people out in the field are looked down upon. Salesmen have the bonus structured so that they have to work crazy hours to hit the bonus
12) all companies go through growth, good leaders are what make the difference. Bad leaders blame the growth for the toxic environment. Treat your employees better.
I feel bad for companies we acquire, your culture, balance, everything is out the window. And it will always be your fault as to why your not hitting your numbers. Don't expect this to be a balanced relationship. And most people will get fired as stated in another comment.
This is a very unhealthy work environment with leadership who could care less about you.
