ezCater reviews

We have all seen this story play out before… new CEO. Then hiring for a new csuite revenue position (the CEO’s buddy). Ripping out comp plans, attainment, KPI’s, etc and then proceed yo wonder why the company is hemorrhaging talent, goals are not being hit and your sales team (who is the engine behind these ludacris goals being hit) being wildly unhappy. Which is what is unfolding as we speak. How can a brand new CRO have a single clue as to what’s best for the company when he was barely in his seat for a few weeks before making these decisions? Looking at Ashwin’s work history you can see why he was let go from Lyft. Similar practices as to what is occurring now at ezCater. It’s plain as day. This new csuite is simply looking for a fat payday when they IPO, and will be laughing into the sunset in the faces of all those whose roles Ashwin and Kaushik eliminated. They do not care about their employees if they’ve been here 7 years or 7 months. You are a line item on a spreadsheet… not a human being. DEI initiatives? That’s ezCater simply wanting a stamp saying they support minority owned businesses, when in reality they do nothing to set them up for success. This is top to bottom THE worst handling of a new CEO/Rev org that I have ever seen in 7+ years of SaaS work. If you value yourself as a salesperson/employee… stay away.

There’s so much honestly. Most people in director positions and above are completely disconnected from their IC’s and even managers/senior managers. It all went south after Stefania left the company. They brought in a new CEO who was probably using ChatGPT for their decisions and managed to get fired within his first year and a half. This new CEO got rid of all the c-suite that made the company that it was. He alone ripped the rug from underneath the culture and now the company embodies fear to all employees. No one feels safe or secure in their positions. Every new c-suite position now has two titles to them, and for every new c-suite person brought into the company, there’s a new round of layoffs! Just recently they laid off about 40 people from the engineering side of the business with the average tenure being about 6 years between everyone there, on the week of Thanksgiving. You won’t be surprised to find there’s already openings for some of the terminated positions. The “startup” company hasn’t had any new rounds of funding since 2021 and likely won’t be getting one anytime soon. Employees were speculating to an acquisition would be looming to make sure the higher ups came out with their pockets filled.
