First of all, my original review got removed by Science Corp. but that is expected from Science. Here's my revised review:
Leadership Issues: The leadership, from the CEO to the head of operations, is manipulative, toxic, and unprofessional, with operations often acting like a corporate enforcement arm.
Exclusive Culture: The core team fosters a cliquey and exclusive environment, alienating others.
High Turnover: There is a recurring pattern of hiring for short-term projects and terminating employees once the need is gone, with particularly high turnover among racial minorities.
Unprofessional Onboarding: Contrary to other likely fabricated reviews, the onboarding process was one of the most unprofessional experiences. The HR lead, known for being sadistic, unhelpful, insecure, and argumentative, was particularly rude and unprofessional.
Lack of Stability: The company lacks a vision, structure and certainty, with frequent project changes, acquisitions, and layoffs disrupting employees' roles.
Exploitation of Employees: Many non-core employees are dismissed within months, indicating issues with the hiring process and a disregard for the impact of these decisions.
Bridge Burning: The company, particularly HR, has a history of burning bridges with employees, a practice seemingly endorsed by upper management. Leadership may justify these actions as necessary for success, but they ultimately contribute to a toxic work environment.
Lack of Vision: The company suffers from a lack of a clear and consistent vision. Its primary focus appears to be raising capital rather than delivering meaningful products. Despite raising hunderds of millions of $, and spending over $40 million, the only substantial output has come from acquisitions and the products they ship, which is a significant red flag for its long-term viability.
Incompetent Management: A significant portion of middle management lacks technical competence and essential management skills.
