There are a LOT of downsides to working at TISTA. First, they tout being a "TISTA family", but treat you like a stepchild. The company laid off hundreds of people, with no notice. Imagine arriving to work and HR contacting you to tell you that today is your last day and you need to log off!! Decisions on who to layoff were made weeks in advance, but they didn't want people to quit, so they baited them until the last day so they could continue to work. Then, they didn't want to discuss it in the all-hands/Pulse meeting. Secondly, they are blatantly racist. There was NO acknowledgement of Black History Month. There were four weeks of Pulse Meetings in which nothing was said about not only the contributions made by Black associates, but minority associates in general. Also, every Black associate that reached the title of Director or Senior Director was released for one reason or another. Somehow, they made it on the list of layoffs when other, less competent executives stayed employed. The executive leadership team leans toward a very specific racial and gender mix. They bait minority workers by promising 'the next level' then lays them off right before they need to make the promise good. Next, the executive leadership team is guessing at how to run a company. The Board has been removed (either optionally or by force - who knows) and the company is floundering under incompetence. All of the professionals that know their job is laid off because they threaten the establishment and expose incompetence.
