Stand Together reviews

Quite literally some of the worst management I've ever experienced Was told I should have found work to do instead of waiting for it to come to me when I expressed multiple times to management to help put me in a position succeed. If I am a new hire then help me get in sync with the other teams, I found myself having to do a lot of things on my own which is ironic given the company name is Stand Together. Manager lied in front of HR about being disrespectful and when I asked them about how I was disrespectful they had zero proof. Was criticized for using the benefit of UNLIMITED PTO after management approved it. If you didn't want me to take PTO then simply deny it, you cannot blame me for using a benefit after you approved it. Criticized for not collaborating when: 1. There's proof of collaboration between tickets, meetings, and messages 2. See above, management should be responsible for helping new hires get accustomed to a new environment and team members. I asked management to help and I was left with empty promises multiple times from both leads and directors. I can go on and on, I would NEVER recommend working for Stand Together until the leadership changes their management personnel and values for the ISO team

The culture had unmistakable cult-like energy—constant “we believe” rhetoric, people clutching pocket-sized Constitutions, and sincere discussions about reading them to their kids at bedtime. Day-to-day work was suffocated by red tape, relentless micro-management, and an obsession with approved language and so-called principle-based management that was incoherent and impractical in execution. Transparency, mutual benefit, and a “bottom-up” culture were endlessly advertised but completely absent in reality. From a senior management perspective, the environment was defined by back-channeling, quiet sabotage, and performative collaboration, with little clarity around expectations, virtually no meaningful feedback, and wins that vanished without acknowledgment. An overgrown middle-management layer added bureaucracy without value—lots of inflated titles, minimal qualifications, and even less impact. The atmosphere was so tense and disengaged that I would routinely go days without anyone even saying hello. I see on this Glassdoor reviews page that Stand Together occasionally responses to reviews and invites further discussion to provide clarity or explain concerns. I tried to do exactly that while I was there and was consistently shut down. Being invited to have that conversation now is far too late—and feels disingenuous at best. Ultimately, success required either fully drinking the Kool-Aid—or becoming very good at pretending you had.
