Beyond, Inc. reviews

Upper management is uncomfortably political. Compensation is below industry standard. Health benefits & bonuses were lowered recently. Difficult to advance in career.

There is extreme nepotism. The upper management hires their friends in the company or promotes them first. If one person doesn't like you, you will be fired quickly. They tend to keep the wrong people. If you suck up to the management and laugh at their jokes, you're more likely to stay even if you do no work. They don't mind drugs because they're so busy trying to be 'trendy' and 'hip' but I guess depending on how you look at it, that could be a good thing. Don't expect a raise. They always make up excuses to not giving one. I was there over a year, but since I changed departments, I wasn't eligible for a raise since I wasn't in that position for 6 months once they gave raises out. They baby the upper management. They say they want everyone to think outside of the box, but if you do, you will be fired. They are very strict in the way they work and don't like change. I was helping with a project once and the comms uppers said "this will be great for your portfolio when you leave the company or find a new job." Since I wasn't looking for a new job, I had a strange feeling that he probably meant when I get fired, which I was with no warning 2 weeks later. Don't offer to help with more than your job because they will scrutinize you and blame you for things that aren't your control and managers will throw you under the bus if the project you volunteered for doesn't work out.
