Beyond, Inc. reviews

Executive leadership makes decisions that are shortsighted and often seem arbitrary. Morale is in the toilet because everyone from the director level and above (ESPECIALLY senior execs) are so focused on the very short term that they're crippling the ability of the company to function even quarter to quarter. The exec team pats each other on the back when the macroeconomic outlook makes the business look good, and criticizes employees when the macroeconomic outlook makes the business look bad. There's no attempt to steer executive strategy to adapt to changing economic outlook, they prefer to put the screws on the average worker rather than critically reevaluate existing initiatives. Everyone is worried sick about the next round of layoffs, or when the executive team will make another big change impacting quality of life without consulting even senior management. There's almost no trust in executive leadership at this point, and for good reason. Oh, and they pretty badly underpay compared to the rest of the industry as far as data science and analytics goes. They like to say they're a tech company in addition to a retail company but they sure don't act like it.

The salary is not great. It's ok for the West of Ireland, but with remote working available to most, it just cannot compete with companies in Dublin, Galway or Limerick. They could try and compete, but the US office does not supply sufficient funding to the Irish office to do so. The old CEO loved the Irish office and although he had some questionable ideas, he would have this office thrive right now if he was still in charge. The current CEO took over and would probably close the Irish office down today if he could. He does not care for the Irish office - it's just something at the back of his mind. In his 3 or 4 years in charge, he still has not even bothered travelling over from Utah to visit the 70-90 staff members. The Irish office is neglected and all of the benefits of the amazing office and staff has come from the work of the Irish employees and the previous team in the US before Jonathan Johnson took charge. He is not responsible for anything worth talking about.
