Pros
- Comaraderie among the team, but only because everyone bonds over their mutual hate of working there
Cons
- Nepotism-unqualified people take sr manager roles simply because they’re related to Charlie. In turn, they hire other unqualified leaders ie managers w/unrelated backgrounds or w/numerous HR violations. - lack of communication, accountability, and transparency are masked as “start up environment” - Daily COVID infections announced by HR - Merit increases and promotions were withheld during COVID even though Charlie increased his net worth by $4B from March to July according to Forbes data - Promotions are withheld if employees refuse to work in the office because they’re high risk for COVID “we won’t promote you if don’t come back to work in the office” - They state that “opportunity is their biggest benefit” but leadership is verbally abusive and demoralizing when employees express interests in other paths - “what makes you think you’re qualified to do that?” “We won’t incentivize internal movement just because people are unhappy on this team” - Recognition and advancement opportunities aren’t based on performance, they’re based on who clicks w/the managers. Heavy boys club environment. - High turnover - 15 people have quit on this team in less than 1 year - Outdated employment practices - hiring process requires references and college transcripts regardless of experience. The best candidates aren’t getting hired - the candidates who make it through that outdated process do. Gosh forbid you got a C in college 20 years ago. High lack of empathy for candidates and hiring needs. - Company culture is cult like - used against employees and candidates whenever it fits their narrative best - Salaries and benefits are below market standards
