Overwhelming Work Environment

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

They allow telecommuting, but I felt this was abused by many of the younger employees. Employees get a chance to work with many different types of clients as well as engaging with them directly. If you're into tech, latest technology can be tried and used, since it's small and nimble teams.

Cons

Employees are overworked, with Project Managers breathing down their necks 24/7. This is not a good thing and can leave employees feeling overwhelmed. There are a lot of managers and directors for a company so small. Those at that level do not feel the pain of the others and just add to the chaos, not help it and lack empathy. There's also a good amount of favoritism at the top and a cult-like, groupthink feeling at times, which is also odd.

RUN AWAY!

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay. Flexible hours. Snacks in kitchen.

Cons

Too many meetings. Profanity culture. Not open to change or process improvement. Lack of leadership. Too much office gossip and favoritism. Badmouthing clients. Mediocre delivery of services to clients. Way too much hierarchy and layers within the organization; with just 60 people at Tallwave, you might have 5+ layers between you and the founder.

TOXIC -- RUN FAR AWAY

Recommend

Pros

Happy hour so you can drink away your sorrows for working in such a toxic environment.

Cons

Too many to list. This place is toxic and will make you regret coming across their brand. This is a place where I wish they had a .5 star level to choose from.

Thank you for sharing, and I’m sorry this was your experience. While we can’t be all things to everyone, we appreciate all feedback so we can continue to improve for our team of talented Tallwavers. Some of the recent appreciation we’ve received from our team include testimonials like these: • Leadership is always checking in to see how we are doing personally and truly encourages taking time to ourselves when needed. • Everyone is very understanding and compassionate about things that come up outside of work. • What’s one of the reasons that keeps you with us at Tallwave? Our culture. • As with growing companies, teams can be stretched a little thin sometimes. They live by their unlimited PTO policy and encourage people to take the breaks they need. If you would like to discuss offline our door is always open.
