Overworked , understaffed and underpaid. Feels like I can never take PTO because taking a day off is the same as missing a month. They hire management from the outside, not internally (thanks Joe Harpaz). Losing the start up culture that made it attractive to begin with. The only department that ever gets a shout out is the Sales team.
This used to be a fun company, that listened to its employees, had excellent room for growth, and felt like sky was the limit. Now, its turning into a rigid, corporate structure that only cares about KPIs. They want twice the work while having half the staff to do it with. Upper management does not care how it gets done, you just need to do it -- yesterday.
The problem is, their solution is all this is to send you a company branded lunchbox and a coffee mug every couple of months and hope that you forget about how little work life balance you have. The CEO is a nice guy, but he is so far removed from how bad it is working in the weeds that his sweet words fall short of reality. I'm sorry Dan Cane, I know your heart is in the right place, but you are no longer running this ship. This is Joe's company now and the only thing that matters now is the bottom line. Employee morale be damned. But here, enjoy this purple towel.
