iMagicLab reviews about "work environment"

A very volatile company - i.e. The company was not ready to exceed 50 employees, which caused the need for massive cutbacks, the reorganization of job responsibilities, and very heavy workloads for those remaining. These are the growing pains of a small company struggling to keep above water.

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.

Bipolar Boss. Keeping employees in the dark and then criticize them for not knowing what is going on. Have employees be responsible for something without giving them authority or proper instruction to get the work done. Over all narcissism and negative work environment.

No real benefits Bad management Bad training Poor communication of goals
