Great people, poor management - work to be done - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Otrium

the company has a long, long way to go in terms of transparency and its People culture. I saw another review about how ironic it is that they can boast of a 'people-first' company when they let go dozens of people recently with no communication to the rest of the company, expecting everything to be pushed under the rug with no contest or bothering to tell people what was going on. It's really disrespectful to the people that were let go and also to the rest of the team members who were left in the dark. Do better with communication and give your employees the respect they deserve - please!! The management culture can be toxic - you are constantly overworked and undervalued as the insane hypergrowth takes precedence over your wellbeing. Teams are at the behest of those above them with constantly changing strategies with no notice and no consideration for people's time or capacities. Although this goes with the startup territory, it's exhausting to give your all and get so little back. it would be so much more worth it if there were opportunities for rewards, bonuses, promotions etc but there isn't anything really. Such a shame since people give their all. Upper (c-level) management have 0 idea what goes on in these teams and there doesn't seem to be much willingness to learn about it/ do something about it. Again, little opportunity for growth at this company. Hiring takes place externally and you have to fight for (bare minimum) promotions, raises etc. This is such a downside as it would be great to highlight that hard work pays off and that the CURRENT employees are valued instead of always bringing external people in.
