Thanks for your review of Phenom People! We appreciate your honest feedback and will be communicating this to the appropriate management. We would never want our employees to feel like they have to leave reviews that didn't reflect how they felt as an employee. Thank you again and we wish you the best in your future!

Over promise and under deliver

Pros

Fun environment if you are right out of college and don't know any better - beer pong, ping pong, beer Fridays, pizza night Thursdays, food in the kitchen, free breakfast on Mondays and lunch on Fridays. Open office with no cubicles of any kind- even the CEO sits with everyone.

Cons

- The company's culture is based on "chaos"; not good if you ever plan on being able to work professionally and successfully with clients - Sales is considered "king"; they will say whatever they have to in order to get a sale. Actually witnessed a sales leader refer to treating clients like women and "hitting and quitting them" - "Work too hard" attitude and not "Work smarter" attitude; always putting out fires instead of thinking ahead or logistically - No accountability among team; forget follow up from team members and, really, forget good communication. - Sexism, bigotry, and overall hostile work environment; an open office environment, no privacy, nor filter for what people say. One time all the women in the office -just the women- were requested to clean the kitchen - that actually happened. There's also not one woman on the leadership team. And when this was brought up to leadership, the excuse was "women leaders are tough to deal with". - HR Tech company with no HR. - Poor communication; clients have actually said, "it feels like there is just this core of leadership who knows what's going on with the products and who makes promises to us, but then they never tell anyone else" - that is spot on. Overall, working for Phenom People is just like being a client for Phenom People - they constantly over promise and under deliver.

Pros

- Most of the people are nice

Cons

- There is absolutely zero incentive to work hard or try and better the company. It does not matter what you do, as it will not be recognized. - Everyone is overworked and it is very difficult to focus on bettering your career because you are too focused on putting out the fires. - The Product is not great and most of the features barely work. - My manager specifically cancels our weekly 1 on 1 meeting 3 out of every 4 times unless I tell him it is very urgent. - No raise and an average of 12.5% out of 100% bonus each year.
