Leadership cares a lot about optics (especially for clients and outsiders) but very little about building real systems that support employees internally. “Ownership” here usually means taking on work well outside your role with no additional support or recognition. Manual processes are the norm, efficiency is an afterthought, and automation is treated like a luxury, not a necessity.
The focus is almost entirely on selling more and hitting aggressive growth targets — often at the expense of thoughtful planning, employee well-being, or long-term client satisfaction. If you’re looking to grow sustainably, build smart processes, and be treated like a professional adult, this might not be the place for you.
There’s pressure to keep working and checking Slack even during approved time off. Time off often feels more like a suggestion than a true boundary.
Parental leave is embarrassingly minimal — just six weeks total after two years of employment (even less for dads). True to their performative over results nature, you get a house cleaning service and some diapers instead of priceless time with your child.
The company culture leans heavily on forced positivity and “rah-rah” energy. Every morning starts with a literal “crush crush crush it!” chant, setting a tone that feels more like a summer camp skit than a professional environment.
