Distrusting and Confused Managerial Culture
Pros
Most of the coworkers were professional in demeanor and DE knows how to pick for culture
Cons
The reviews for the IT culture are a farce. During my entire time here, I have witnessed a constant exodus of talent, been subjected to micromanagement despite delivering results and promoting a team attitude, and dealt with consistently unclear expectations. The rules to management here do not apply the same as they do for employees. Expect to pitch improvements for your ideas to be stolen, expect to be spoken down to constantly, expect for good feedback regarding your performance to be flipped negatively because upper management can't stand having someone else be shown in a positive light, except for them. After years of dealing with an atmosphere ripe with narcissism (brought about by one director in IT, specifically), I finally started to push back on the ideas that would put the business in a state of under-performance and dealt with a smear campaign of my character and my performance as a result. I have not been the only one subjected to this. To say that I am massively disgusted with the way my tenure at Homes.com came to an end, would be an understatement. My resignation was swept under the rug, I still have ex-colleagues reaching out to me, as if I were fired instead of taking a deserved promotion elsewhere, mainly in hopes of better treatment and ethics. I am lucky to have found it, but I do not think it is wise to not disclose what happened to me, which is why I am writing this review. I loved the people that I worked with, I valued the constant push for improvement for our product and customer satisfaction, and I valued the other two directors that served as effective mentors.
