Relias reviews

- Just look through all the reviews going back to January and especially July of 2023. Look at the cons - they are all true. It's odd that all of the recent positive reviews tend to be a few sentences long (at most) and very vague. A lot of them just say "No cons that I can think of." Be suspicious of those. - There are lots of career development opportunities like lessons and courses, but they won't help you get ahead. They'll just hire externally instead. Good if you want to learn, though. - Pay is so-so, but it's currently capped each year with a cost of living adjustment as of 2023. It's been 3% each year. They'll tell you about bonuses - DO NOT TRUST THAT. You have to go hugely above and beyond your job duties to even be eligible for a bonus, and there usually "won't be budget" for them by mid-year. Amazingly, anyone who is a director and up gets a bonus baked into their roles, provided quotas/targets are met. Really strange that we cut our sales forecast earlier this year when it looked grim, and now we're on target. - Used to be remote, now it's hybrid for no reason. The head of HR called the entire staff "cynical" when there was pushback on this change. Any other dissent was equated to "bullying" the head of HR and was harshly punished, at least within Marketing. - The C-suite is incompetent and completely resistant to change. They can't set goals, they can't set metrics, they don't understand how to make things work at the micro level. Ingenuity was subbed out for acquisitions a decade ago, and the company has suffered from it. They actually think our tanking eNPS scores are because they haven't been transparent enough. In reality, the entire staff just sees the fact that they're in full wealth extraction mode. Honestly, I'm surprised that our eNPS scores are so low. Usually, staff are too scared to speak up because they think they'll be put on the chopping block. - The main consequence of these unrealistic goals is that they trigger massive layoffs when they aren't met. We've lost at least 20% of the company in the past year. Obviously, individual contributors are the ones who pick up the slack.

All of the cons are true. The sheer amount of layoffs has been mindblowing. Catastrophically mind blowing. There are a lot of positions with no pathway for career advancement. Top down. They would promote a job but actual career pathing was non-existence. They took away merit based raises while not removing merit-based expectations. I repeat. THEY TOOK AWAY RAISES. You had to write a nice little paragraph to your boss to qualify for a good job bonus instead of just being recognized for your hard work. THIRD TIME. THEY TOOK AWAY RAISES. The major thing BESIDES TAKING AWAY RAISES and then that god-awful back to work rollout in a place where you have to book a desk, was the back to back to back failed projects. We wasted SO much time crunch working on launches only for the launch to be pushed back forever and ever or for the product to be snatched away because engineering and UX/UI wasn't given enough time to spit shine the rollouts. Every time we turned around something new was being introduced. The only decent thing that came out of the 3-4 secret projects was the release of the Nurse.com website. App sucked, they let good brands like WCEI fall into the trash, they kept people working on brands that are aimless (FreeCME) and good directors and managers and individual contributors who kept the company afloat while they threw darts at balloons for initiatives were let go. For practically nothing.
