First Advantage reviews

I worked with this company for eight months. The little respect I had for them was shattered immediately after starting. This company is not nicked-named "Take Advantage" for nothing. I witnessed them bullying their researchers. This company has no integrity, no moral compass and absolutely no empathy for their employees or their researchers. There is no partnership in this organization, they just take, take, take at every opportunity they can. Whether it's with their partners or employees; they are ALL about the bottom line. Run, run, run away and fast. I couldn't morally remain with this company seeing how they treat their partners and their employees and to hear how they talk about them. Very unprofessional group of upper-management.

Many of the C-level leaders are inexperienced and/or ineffective. The "right hand" person brought in by the CEO is toxic, but the CEO doesn't seem to care as he continues to promote her ever higher in the organization despite the fact that every function she touches performs worse after she's been at the helm. Collectively, C-level management has no clue as to how to get the stock price moving upward, so they have been in the process of downsizing, while not coming out and acknowledging what they are doing with the employee population. There is a complete lack of accountability for delivering upon performance objectives that permeates the organization. Note to HR: porting a poor performance management process into WorkDay does not make it an effective process. There is a stealth affirmative action paradigm relative to promotions that has been operating for the last few years that undermines the positive DEI work that has been done.
