don't be fooled by the cool mission - avoid! - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Handshake

CEO and leadership decided to sacrifice everything good about the culture, values, mission (and just basic care and decency towards employees) in pursuit of a new "performance culture." But even though they seem obsessed with this new performance-driven culture, they don't actually have any measurable goals or standards for what that "performance" is supposed to look like, and so employees are just trying to make their best guess at what they need to do to not get laid off - all while being incredibly stressed, overworked, undersupported, and in many cases underpaid. And leadership knows that this shift isn't being received well, but they really just don't care. They are fine with losing all the amazing people drawn to their mission, whether through layoffs or people leaving, because they actually don't value the individuals that contributed to the success of the company thus far. Other issues: No transparency from leadership about strategy, goals, etc even though they preach transparency. Super lackluster commitment to DEI - lots of talk with no action to back it up. Leadership actively & publicly celebrates employees who are overworking and sacrificing their well being and work/life balance instead of offering any type of support to employees with too much on their plates - the "unlimited" PTO is completely meaningless. Really concerning lack of empathy from most of leadership, even though one of the alleged core values of the company is literally "act with empathy." Also, some really shady attempts to cut layoff numbers by doing "performance exits" for some folks, without *any* type of performance conversations or people being aware that there were any issues whatsoever. Really really disappointing to see such unfair and cruel treatment of employees. I can't touch on everything here - but between all the recent negative reviews I think you'll get the picture. And it's not good.
