Psychotic and Mediocre HR - Non-Existing Internal Comms

Pros

Very nice people work at the company, that’s it’s strongest skill. The problem is people don’t last happy for too long as there’s no people care whatsoever.

Cons

-HR is a team of children with no experience whatsoever. The company has serious upscaling issues and HR is severely underqualified for the task. The HR leader (and basically most of his team, as a result) is literally a psychopath who has no listening skills. Forget about talking to HR without a 10 minute introduction of unnecessary and unprofessional jokes + several minutes of getting interrupted non-stop & ironic comments + 0 resolution or answers. Forget about asking for a raise, they’ll reply you should be thankful for having a job. -Be prepared to overwork in exchange for basically no special recognition. -Internal Communications are inexistent. Nobody has clear goals other than surviving. Management is unable to give clear answers and typically you would never know how the company is doing or where things are going. -Basically it is a startup disguised as enterprise. Great customers, yet poor internal organization, structure, and internal comms. -There’s no place for introverts. They organize funny events (like summer days) and pretend people to mingle together just because.

Pros

Amazing people working there, that makes day to day exciting. Nice EOY party and working from the beach benefits. Work from home once a week after three months

Cons

It was an overall horrible experience. Fake career paths are sold to you. There is no real growth opportunities. Mediocre management and fear leads to inertia Considering Avature sells HR tech, their own policies are appalling. Shady processes are not only common, but the norm. Unhealthy hierarchical structure that affects output and morale. Discrimination and ghosting if you don't buy into the fold

We put a lot of effort in making our processes transparent and create a work environment that’s engaging, open, and comfortable for all Avaturians. Regardless of what may have happened, the feelings you express are diametrically opposed to the culture we foster. We’re taking your message to heart and will put extra effort to ensure we continue to foster a positive work environment. We hope that you find great new opportunities and would like to remind all Avaturians that our Talent Management team is always available to discuss anything you need.

Pros

The coworkers are really committed, and there is a strong desire to build a great product. The technical areas have the most talented people I've seen, and they've built a something really good. The problems tackled every day are as complex as they get, and the solutions are impressive. As a product, it's innovative in an industry where most big players aren't.

Cons

Leadership is a big hit-or-miss. You either get a great leader that helps you grow, motivates you and helps you get better and do great things, or you don't. If you don't, be prepared to be ignored, micromanaged and simply dismissed as another grunt. The company is growing, but it has no control and no structure. You can make things happen, but usually it is through very hard, unrewarding work. There are no schedules, you can arrive and leave at any time, but most of the time, you will have more things to do than hours are in the day, and the deadlines, code merges, meetings, won't be moved.
