It's okay, but not a long-term company - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Emergn

VFQ is flaunted as a revolutionary way to work, but it's not really followed in the company. It's not even anything impressive, just common sense stuff repackaged in the shape of a reminder. Praxis by Emergn (a learning platform) is a forced meme. Why would I pay 100 dollars a month to learn what I can get on Udemy for a fraction of the price? Since launch, we've been getting bugged about "liking the posts on LinkedIn, sharing with your friends, etc.". If Praxis can't stand on its own, it's not a good project. We even had a global meeting where "exciting news would be announced". Everyone was in suspense, did we get a huge new customer? Is the company bankrupt? No, nothing of the sort. If you guessed Praxis got a new pricing model, you'd be correct. Whenever management comes up with some new tools for us to play with, it's more of a "here, have fun with it" approach, even if they're incompatible with the project flow as it stands. There is bureaucracy and hypocracy when it comes to salary reviews. They take way too long. Where Praxis teaches that the best way to constantly reward people for the good work they've done, you have to first prove to everyone that you deserve getting a raise. Financial instability, the company says they don't want to fire anyone, but small layoffs are happening here and there. Senior colleagues who have spent half their life at Emergn don't seem to take too kindly to changes and improvements on how to work better, again, not applying VFQ. Originally, remote was something that was accepted globally, work however you want. Recently, an RTO policy has come into play, currently affecting management and lead roles. It's only a matter of time before it affects everyone else. Colleages constantly joke about "leaving the company", and some already have. You have to be a yes-man in front of upper management, show yourself in positive light in everything you do with next to no "bad questions".
