Things Invodo Does and Does Not Do: a Short Story.
Does:
Make you feel like you are disposable
Condone rampant sexism and discrimination
Hire inept and under qualified management and provides them with bloated salaries
Keeps said management around even after their department has fallen apart and their ineptitude has seeped out of every pore
Hires under-qualified people into high ranking roles from within because it is easier than the hiring process to find a qualified employee
Promotes a hostile work environment when concerns are raised about unfairness, sexism, discrimination, want for salary/title promotions to direct supervisors
Drags you along for years as a contractor until finally offering you a lowball, flat out insulting offer for full-time employment
Prides itself on self-importance
Employs C-level executives and mid-level managers with egos big enough to choke a horse
Mistreats contractors, whom they employ full-time and treat as employees without hiring them on and giving them benefits (WHICH IS ILLEGAL)
Promotes a 'boys club' from tip to tail -- if you're not in it, you're SOL when it comes to fair and just performance reviews, compensations, and more
Placates employees when things are bad by lying that everything is OK
Refuse to acknowledge what the company is or should be
Hire employees who have no previous experience in art directing / creative directing / agency experience / production / etc.
Reward misogynistic behavior
Lay off people in a group setting because they are too cowardly to do it 1:1
Reward employees who have constantly failed in their job by promoting them
Promise career growth only to never follow through
Does not:
Accept new ideas if they come from anyone that is not in the boys club
Listen, engage, or proactively act on complaints of sexism and harassment in the workplace
Hire qualified people
Communicate. Period.
Understand the company's vision or mission
Have management who are in touch with what is new, hip, cutting edge
Have management who treat employees like humans
Have managers that don't favor blatant nepotism for their drinking buddies and friends
Follow through on promises of growth in the company
Lay off people who have constantly underperformed or failed in their role because more than likely they are drinking buddies with their supervisor so it's all good
Appreciate loyal employees who have spent years breaking their back for the company
Tell the truth or understand the importance of transparency
