No Warning of Layoff - No Severance Package - Recensione dipendente - UI/User Experience Designer presso Issio Solutions

It's a very supportive environment. Everyone is encouraged to speak their voice.

It's a startup, so it is a fast-paced environment.

Fellow coworkers were all wonderful!

Processes and requirements were extremely poorly documented. If you ever missed anything, no matter how minor, you'd get scolded publicly. Nepotism between the CTO and another employee was also a huge issue. No raises were ever given. Work-life balance was poor. Both the CEO and the CTO have no problem bullying and belittling employees, and many employees have been driven to tears from poor treatment. Despite promises that we had just completed a round of funding, the majority of the company was laid off with 0 severance in November with no warning over an email. Issio claims email was the only option for layoffs because our access to ALL systems had to be immediately revoked due to FEDRAMP guidelines, however this is easily disproved by reading the actual FEDRAMP documentation. Final paychecks were wired and wire fees were deducted from our bank accounts which getting refunded has been a nightmare, along with getting the proper final paycheck amount. Despite claims, upper management has never reached out for a call to discuss events or offered letters of recommendation. All claims that employees have stolen equipment are false as Issio has not properly facilitated return of said equipment. The company cannot be trusted to refund any expenses so employees have been requesting prepaid boxes and labels which Issio has been refusing to facilitate, and management has instead gone the route of threatening to call the police and waste valuable law enforcement time on a civil matter. If you're looking to work here, do not as long as the current CEO or CTO are in charge. They are cruel and unempathetic and will not hesitate to use you to further their own goals.
