iMagicLab reviews

The CEO, Richard Keith Latman, does not have the faintest idea of how to effectively manage employees. Most work is assigned directly by Keith himself. This can and does go wrong in a variety of ways: Sometimes, Keith will give a vague description of the project he wants done. If you ask for more details, he will tell you to "figure it out" or "just get it done." After you've worked on this project for a few days or weeks, and sent several progress updates to Keith, he will tell you that everything you've done is wrong. It's time to start over, and you'd better work twice as fast. Other times, Keith will be very specific about what he wants. It doesn't matter that his solution goes against all standard conventions. It doesn't matter that there is a better solution that would be quicker and easier to implement. Keith could do your job better than you in half the time, so he's not going to listen to your advice. Don't forget the mandatory design changes once you've completed 80% of the project. How do you feel about violating open-source software license agreements? Keith sure doesn't seem to care, and will specifically tell you to avoid wasting any time trying to adhere to them. What about benefits? How does guaranteed yearly salary increase, unlimited PTO, a 6% 401k match, and a fully stocked break room sound? If you said, "too good to be true," you were right. All of these benefits were removed shortly after I was hired. In addition to all of this, Keith has no problem laying off employees with absolutely zero notice and almost no severance pay. So, if you're planning on working for iMagicLab, be sure to keep your resume updated. You might need to find a new job very soon. Also, don't trust all the 4 and 5 star reviews. Keith makes his employees write them.

What a revolving door company. Hang on to your hat. Very few people last or stay long. It's not because they are incompetent or bad workers. It's the owners of the company. They change directions so many times that you never know what your job is, will be or if you will even have one. Forget any kind of pay raises or job promotions. They do a fantastic job of selling the company as a "forward thinking bastion of progressive career challenges", but in reality you have to hold on as long as you can, until something better comes along or you get tired and leave. After 6 months working their you get the same glazed smile as everyone else. There are very few employees who have been there long term, and of those who are long term employees, their advice to new employees is to "Tell the Senior owner whatever he wants to hear" . If you want to go through bi annual company shake ups, low health benefits , a fixed pay check with no career advancement, then this is the company for you.
