TouchTunes reviews

Where do I begin... For starters, a note to all those considering a job here. There are a few fake positive Glassdoor reviews for this company in response to the negative ones and in a weak attempt to balance out the negative reviews (presumably from HR). Do not buy into it and really vet the position/company for yourself. Also, if you read some of the recent fake positive reviews, you get a taste of the "class" by the characters in this company. This company has all the traits that could easily fall under a Forbes headline "Signs it's a Bad Place to Work." There is high turnover, low morale, and condescending managers/leadership. The primary water cooler topics are about job hunting progress or venting sessions on how disrespectful leaders or managers behave. All important decisions are typically made at the Executive level and shoved down people's throats to execute, which leaves little room for any creativity or innovative thought. You will feel like an anxiety-driven monkey that's not empowered to think, but to just take the directives and make it work without any concept of how this impacts the work on people's plates already. This is a place where you will constantly feel like you're surviving, not thriving. It's disappointing and soul crushing how there is a huge lack of accountability in this company. People are fearful to speak up because they don't want to create drama, doubt themselves/situation they're placed in from overthinking it, and/or don't know how to deal with some of the situations that arise because it's outlandish that they're placed in that situation in the first place. It's amazing who the company chooses to promote into positions of authority and is another indirect sign that they don't care about the culture or care for their employees. The #1 reason why people leave companies is due to bad managers and this company is doing a phenomenal job of that. It often feels like Execs turn a blind eye to how certain managers behave and don't take the time to really dig deeper into the obvious low morale of some teams or are not acting fast enough. They can do better and it's their responsibility as a leader to address the obvious bad behavior of certain managers. Unprofessional conduct on a whole lot of levels.

Working at TouchTunes is demoralizing and at times out right degrading. Inefficiency and dysfunction is the name of the game in pretty much every part of the New York office. Anyone hired below the VP level is treated as easily replaceable headcount hired to purely execute tasks. Despite working hard very few are promoted or recognized for their work because executive management genuinely does not want to see employees grow beyond the role they were hired for. Employee morale is low and turnover is high, this speaks for itself. Most coworkers are actively looking for new positions. Any new ideas will get squashed before they reach the table, at some point people stop trying. In fact, expect to have your job threatened if you push for innovation. There have been numerous layoffs for “budget reasons” and vacant positions are left empty without replacements. These are big red flags on the financial situation at TouchTunes.   Executive management is a huge disappointment that no one seems willing to address. There’s a large disconnect between executives and “everyone else”. With the lack of communication and very little transparency it’s amazing the company still functions at any level. Upper management spends time dictating orders and micromanaging every single thing instead of leading teams and focusing on strategy. Execs are egotistical and think they’re the only ones who can come up with ideas. The need for controlling every aspect is killing employee moral. Management spends time fighting each other and their subordinates. Management often does not treat employees fairly. Some can work from home, others cannot. Some can come in late and leave early, others get reprimanded for the same behavior. No amount of free beer on Fridays will make working at TouchTunes worth it.
