Worst Experience of My Entire Career

Cre asset manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and Benefits would be competitive if the place was tolerable

Cons

Senior management (with very few exceptions) at and above the Senior Director level is utterly useless; Two major corporate restructurings in less than 24 months with no sense of direction or purpose for the future; Culture remains highly toxic, overly political, and morale is very low; Form over substance mentality (policy over common sense); Massive exodus of talent through both voluntary resignations and layoffs.

Terrible Company

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None that I can think of right now, except that the experience taught me not to listen to some people who sing praises of the company while they may be having a rare experience due to their specific team.

Cons

No trust culture, onus of trust is on you. My manager never scheduled 1-1s with me. Trashy hiring practices to fill up positions to support very fast growth. Good people getting stuck with terrible leads and useless teammates. Managers sound nice but have no concern for the people. Toxic environment. Agile show offs DEI show offs

Not the company you want to work for!

Full-time associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Humble CEO - Technology adoption - Some smart talent at workplace - Flexible working hours (depends on team)

Cons

- Hired a few bad apples in powerful positions who don't shy away from abusing their ranks - Pay isn't competetive - No Stocks /RSU - Performance management is a joke - Ranks/job levels matter (feedbacks from lower levels are ignored & the expectation from lower ranks is to kiss upper ranked associates ***) - Career progression blocked by dirty politics
