Cancelled a contract with a vendor on an engagement. Urgently reached out to the same vendor for a separate engagement. After the consulting agency spent weekends working to demo a prototype management declined to move forward with any and all potential vendors for no reason.
Management will ask employees to take initiative. When one does work proactively management comes back and criticize for not getting their consent for the workplan. Management provides a written set of instructions to follow. If employee follows the written instructions management will then be silent and criticize for lack of decision making. So the upshot is employees are scolded when they don't get permission and get scolded for following written instructions.
Employees are treated like contractors. They hire so frequently simply to replace the employees they fired. They will likely fire most of those new employees they hired.
They provide toxic and negative feedback to their business partners after making these partners work incessantly to please them. Some of these business partners who received toxic feedback from QCells management are later promoted in their organizations due to their exceptional customer service and response.
Managers do not provide clear communication. Expectations are off the charts. They will ask for the equivalent of a self-driving car and expect the result completed overnight. No clear OKR (Object Key Results) set forth and only criticism of your final results.
Management will ask for work beyond the job description. If you are in finance they expect you to do work in the technology area. If you are in marketing they might expect you to work on financial models.
Company frequently gets past due notices from suppliers and expects the non-finance folks to resolve these issues.
Like every toxic organization there may still be a good person or two. But examine the high turnover rate mentioned in other reviews. Most of those turnovers were probably involuntary.
Should you risk it?
