Lessen reviews

Unfortunately, the strengths are consistently undermined by weak executive leadership and a lack of clear strategic direction. Layoffs occurred nearly every week for over two years without transparency or apparent rationale, creating an atmosphere of fear and low morale. The CEO is largely absent and disconnected from employees, which has only deepened uncertainty and frustration across teams. Leadership often relies on asking broad questions rather than providing actionable guidance or a cohesive vision for the company’s future. Additionally, the technology stack and user experience remain outdated, costing the business credibility and major deals in an increasingly competitive market. Efforts to manage significant debt appear to take priority over long-term innovation or employee stability, leaving the organization in a constant state of reaction rather than progress.

You're forced to sell your soul to the devil and lie to the clients. NOTHING Lessen advertises or represents is true, it's all lies. This notion advertised as one of the best places to work is a smoke screen. The companies so called "Core Values" are empty and meaningless. Onboarding required ethics training but when ethics are practiced at Lessen, HR gets involved and eventually the position is terminated. The HR department is completely biased and supports the company 100%; there's only one perspective. Leadership is incompetent and disconnected. Incompetence is celebrated and rewarded, and truly talented people are terminated. When leadership is challenged the work atmosphere becomes hostile and the challenger is targeted. Most of the vendors sent to client properties are not qualified and are grossly overcharging for services. Leadership only cares about raking in the money; quality is completely overlooked. Absolutely the worst job I've ever had to endure. The CEO is a Charlatan. When a one-star rating was selected it was because there's no option for zero stars.
