All optics, no substance

Pros

There are a handful of individuals that shine and genuinely care about the work that is being done. The company has good health benefit options.

Cons

All senior energy goes towards sales enablement and optics. There is no cohesive internal vision. There is little to no investment in culture or communication, care for those executing the day to day work, or understanding that there is anything wrong in the first place. All promises pertaining to growth and assistance have been broken.

Pros

They had good apples in the kitchen... There were some lovely people I worked with that I loved to work with but everyone was so stressed and miserable that everyone left.

Cons

They will just take as much from you as possible. I worked late and without lunch everyday for a week to get something over the line I had no support on, then a week or so later had a doctors appointment and was made to work more hours to make up for my appointment. There is no reward for working above and beyond, you won’t be paid and they will forget it immediately. When I tried to speak to my manager about having too much on, too much that I could actually due to them not hiring enough staff. I was then told it was my fault and that I wasn’t good enough, I was then later marked down in my review as not being positive when being overworked and full of stress. The company asks you to sell things to clients which don’t work and mistakes in simple projects are common. The senior management don’t care about the majority of employees, the CEO will never give you the straight truth and will leave early while everyone is working non stop, he didn’t make any meaningful changes the entire time I was there. Promotions barely come, many leave as they are told they are close to promotion then receive no promotion due to another reason which was never mentioned before and so all the talent leaves to companies which will reward hard work. Oh and the pay is the absolute minimum for this industry, you will be underpaid, overworked and unrewarded. (warning also check Maru/EDR reviews the company changed name to join NA offices so have lost some of their reviews and gained more positives from the company that bought them out)

Amazing people, bad leadership

Pros

I can't say enough good things about the people I worked with day-to-day - everyone is extremely hard working, talented and fun. Benefits were good too.

Cons

I echo the previous reviews - highest level leadership is terrible, no discernible company direction, and horrible communication. On more than a few occasions, very key high level people were let go and employees weren't even sent an email - these employees just disappeared and the rest of the employees heard about it through the rumour mill. Also - HR implemented a performance review system where employees were only eligible for promotions twice in the year. How about promoting people when they deserve it and not waiting for the eligible promotion dates to arrive? Very bureaucratic and does not put people first.
