Messy organization - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso SmartCow

Majority of upper management is under qualified, some incompetent and amateurish. No hiring standards for managers and above, does not promote from within but most, if not all managers are lacklustre anyway with no applicable skills. No soft skills either. HR is extremely rude with no empathy. Hire and fire policy, high turnover recently but company refuses to change anything. Everyone is greedy to them. Organized town hall is useless from operations stand point, no credible information released to employees. Company does not care about retention rates. Be careful of HR. Flat structure but a complete mess, as with most start-ups. But Smartcow disguises itself as better than a start-up but it is not. Everything works like there is only 5 people. Official social media posts and press releases go out with zero vetting from copywriting experts. For a global company, it is very embarrassing. Ask PR team how the company name and logo came about and they literally have no answer for you. What does this company even mean and stand for? Nobody knows. No SDLC in place, there are engineering managers but how is it possible that there is no process or flow? Inadequacy is the reason. Documentation? None. The only good and reliable people are the actual engineers themselves. FYI: Every time there is a genuine negative review, a flood of positive reviews come in almost immediately. Please judge this how you will before joining this company. It is the same - everyone tries to hide everything and does not work on the root of the problem.
