One in ten startups make it. This one never even had the chance to try. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Retrieve

The environment is the most toxic and volatile one I have ever been a part of. Retrieve has been at it for more than a year, and they still don’t know what their product as. Seriously, all it takes is a call with a sales guy or a quick skim of the website to realize that they don’t have a clue what the product is. The messaging is about as clear as the summit of Everest during a whiteout blizzard and the “direction” of the company changes every few weeks. Whatever the CEO says, goes. Period. He’s gone through three presidents, two VP’s, and twenty or so front office employees in the span of ONE YEAR. But if you play his game, nod your head and smile when he rambles on in his delusional world about how he created a product that is better than email, mobile, slack, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. combined, then you do have opportunity to grow. (i.e. the current President is a twenty-something year old kid who played the game well, props to him). Every couple of months or so, random firings are expected. Upper management handles these about as poorly as humanly possible. If you do happen to work here, against all advice and warnings not to do so, keep an eye on your email because it could/most likely will be turned off at some point without warning. And lastly, keep an eye out for the completely BULL fake positive reviews on here. Every couple of weeks the current employees are told to go on and write fake reviews. It’s pretty easy to identify the genuine ones versus the baloney, for example, “Startup with Excellent Leadership” is as dishonest and over-embellished as it gets. The lack of strong, morally sound leadership is the very reason why Retrieve will never ever live up to its full potential.
