They Fire People For Nothing - Also They're VERY SHADY - Recensione dipendente - Webmaster presso Webpals

- Their stock fell 30% in the last 5 months. They are firing people left and right for no reason, blaming them for failures that weren't in their control, so that they can tell their shareholders that they are doing fine and the firings are not due to their ranking on Google plummeting, and their revenues going to the toilet. Also, they are using the 'faults' of their employees in order to avoid paying severance following their terminations. I am one of the many people who got fired lately, and was left to feel like it was my fault. - They did not pay me what was owed to me, deducted my salary on all sorts of ridiculous accusations, in my last few months there. - The company runs on politics that makes it impossible to get the job done, every small move I wanted to make it had to go through 5 layers of management, as well as strategists, and if you critisized their ways, you would get punished in some way. - Their in-house CMS, known as Palcon, is perhaps the worst thing in that company. I had no control of how I created web pages and content, which resulted in me taking days to do even the most simple tasks. I was feeling hopeless there, like I had a bounty on my head and there was nothing I could do to improve my performance because of the toolset I was given. In my termination letter, they mentioned that I was 'working slow', but it was clearly not my fault. I soon got in touch with my colleagues who mentioned that they got the same termination letters. - Management there is just tragic. The managers care more about how they look, at the cost of getting their subordinates fired so that they will not get the blame for any failures. - Ever since the stock has been plummeting, they have gone really far with feminism, firing a few people over sexual harassment claims that turned out to be false, just so they could get social investors to buy shares because of what they 'represent'. I am not 100% sure about this, but I am all to familiar with these tactics. - You will be a robot, doing things over and over again like an old rule-based computer program. It doesn't matter what job you have there. - They have various departments, all of which are REALLY SLOW to react to any issues you may have, even though these problems are mediocre and we could have easily solved it ourselves. - They mislead their job candidates in job interviews, as well as the ads they post on Jobmaster and Alljobs. They even go as far as pay managers and HR Reps to post good reviews on Glassdoor and Google Reviews.... I am all to familiar with their marketing tactics; if they have to write pros/cons for something they are promoting, they write a few highly insignificant things as the cons, and a lot of heavenly sounding things as the pros. I also heard it from a few people on the inside that they do this. - They are pretty shady. On their website, they state that they give affiliate marketing services to clients with state of the art technology, this is what their shareholders think. That's a lie; they are very poor on technology, and they have no clients. Basically, all they do is use the Shareholders money to buy a bunch of terrible gambling affiliate sites that rank on Google, but make no money. They employ black hat SEO techniques to get them to keep ranking on Google, and then trick visitors on the website into depositing money with casinos. The reason they are failing right now is because Google became a lot better at detecting Black Hat SEO techniques.
