Finally found a place where I am 100% happy - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Barkyn

The only pro was the remote work but honestly no way near enough to make you want to work here

Where do I even start? They change their strategy every minute. They'll tell you one thing in the morning and completely change their minds by the afternoon. The work environment is chaotic, and everything is so confusing that it feels like no one really knows what they're doing. The CEO won't tell you anything face to face. Someone here described him as a "digital bully," and I think that's 100% accurate because he'll go off on Slack instead or make other people have the difficult conversation for him (LOL). There are zero work ethics or ethics in general, to be honest. Also the pay isn't even close to being worth the chaos, poor management, and toxic work environment they expect people to put up with. Everything about Barkyn and working at Barkyn was just crazy.

Being able to work remotely

Management is an absolute nightmare. They hire you but don’t trust your expertise. They hire random externals and agencies that get recommended by investors while firing current employees. They expect you to work overtime without any compensation. They have zero respect for your time. They change strategy weekly if they don’t see uplifts in performance. The CEO’s only goals is to be in the 1% and send threatening emails disguised as “motivation”. If you’re young expect to be spoken to in a very demeaning way. Actual things I was told: - We don’t give positive feedback because that’s the culture of the company; - You can’t expect that 8 hours a day is enough to do everything (while not paying for overtime); - I don’t care about your calendar; - I worked for a company for 8 months without getting paid because people were depending on me (from management, it wasn’t his company, he was somehow trying to make me accept that you have to make “sacrifices”); - Sometimes you have to let go of some of your star players if they don’t align with your new strategy (from the CEO in a company wide email).
