I joined this company early in my career, hoping it would be a place where I could learn, grow, and develop professionally. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the opposite.
The morale is very low, with poor communication and very little transparency. There is no experienced leadership, most departments operate without clear direction or accountability. In my role, I was micromanaged for basic emails and client calls, which made it difficult to build confidence or autonomy. When I offered ideas for clients they weren't really welcomed, felt more like an admin for my boss.
Much of the team is made up of junior employees, interns, or offshore contractors. This created constant execution issues and major knowledge gaps across departments. There’s no structured onboarding, no real training, and no support for career development.
Employee turnover is extremely high, I’ve heard several more people have left since I did and I saw over 12+ leave in my time. Concerns raised by employees are often dismissed or met with defensiveness. Leadership is not only absent but at times unprofessional, including emotional outbursts in the office.
Pay, especially for NYC, is well below industry standards. My current role pays significantly more, has better benefits, and is in a far healthier culture.
