Ideum reviews

There is no HR and people are frequently fired at the wims of the CEO with no warning. Sometimes people are forced to take pay cuts with little to no warning. There is very little positive feedback for a job well done and much anger, outbursts, and vitriol for projects that aren't moving smoothly. It leads to a very anxious and upsetting work environment.

There was a real lack of hierarchy, with the few who had "manager" status frequently being overruled or having the carpet pulled out by upper management. I have seen some pretty shocked faces coming out of management meetings... Upper management also frequently got involved in project management and even project-level work, which very rarely led to smooth or true success. Micromanaging is a serious issue. Ideum seemed to have a high turnover rate, with some of these problems frequently discussed prior to an employees' voluntary departure.
