Talkdesk reviews

Everything else. Soul-sucking place to work. This is not an exhaustive list: - Complete lack of regard for employee wellbeing: no effort put into company culture/team-building events (some offices were even “punished” with holiday parties being taken away), people and HR teams lack empathy/compassion and don’t follow through on employee feedback/complaints, no 401k match. - Abrupt COVID layoffs with no severance, after the CEO deceitfully led an all-hands meeting reassuring everyone of the health of the company/security of jobs. - No real performance plans/annual reviews in place, no fair path of growth (some rewarded more than others due to favoritism), and biased “performance-based” firings of people with no prior warning about performance. - Company truly does not care about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Could count the # of black people in the entire company barely on two hands (out of 1k employees worldwide), while other POC representation is extremely low. It’s a lot of willfully ignorant and performative white people spewing microaggressions on a regular basis and thinking that having women in leadership positions means diversity. Once asked the company about their DEI initiatives and they lied about a pre-existing employee committee with a corresponding internal slack channel...I joined the slack channel only to see that it had been created THAT SAME DAY. - CEO is an immature micromanager who doesn’t trust anyone to do their jobs, and encourages people to “do whatever it takes” even in the realm of harmful, immoral, and potentially non-compliant; he’s always in a "bad mood", and enables bad actors to continue circumventing processes (or lack thereof) to make shady and arbitrary decisions that protect their own interests. - Executives (including the CEO) have toxic and inappropriate relationships with each other, and often complain to their reports about it/how things will never change. Lower than low company-wide morale, felt like every man/woman for themselves with no accountability. - Terrible, all-over-the-place leadership with poor communication skills; often wasted days on projects that were never reviewed/used, or was often blindsided when manager decided to take something over with no explanation. - Under-resourced and under-staffed in several departments crucial to the company’s success; those departments were often blamed for “underperforming” rather than given the necessary resources to do productive work. - Extremely stingy (beyond a necessary level) to the detriment of hiring/retaining top talent, team productivity, company culture, and employee wellbeing
