Resident reviews

ILLEGAL. My team lead did not like me, to the point that they started faking performance reviews attributing others mistake to me. The first few times I brought it to their attention. Then I started taking screenshots instead because I saw where it was going. The day came in which I was going to get my walking papers. I went to HR with my evidence. They did fire the manager in question on the spot, but then blatantly lied to me. The HR person said well, we still have to let you go as you are a 1099 contractor and as a business decision all contractors are being let go. The thing is, other contractors remained. New contractors were brought on board after.

There are some major challenges that come with working for such a fast-paced company. Rather than make a laundry list of all the bad I will address a few things that can be a deterrent for those who are not ready for it. 1. This is a growth-based company. That means no matter what your role is it will be measured by data and performance. Unlike other companies, you won't just have a job and a title because other tech companies have them. You earn your role here which can be very challenging for some. 2. Performance>Brand. Along with the first, this can also be a deterrent for some. The company is focused on performance and that means sometimes building a brand can take the back burner in terms of focus. This can be challenging for anyone working in a creative role from a traditional company. 3. Its a startup. If you have never worked for a startup your in for a wild ride. Startups are hard, you have to take lots of ownership around your role and responsibilities and if the company takes a hit some times that means your job will take a hit.
