BigWheel Reviews

Creativity breeds innovation, except at BigWheel. You are nothing more than a cog in the machine and C-levels have no problem displaying that. Gossip runs rampant. If you see an office door closed, it’s safe to assume they’re talking negatively about you or another coworker. Find the one or two people you trust in this agency, and keep conversation to a minimum with the rest. It’s just like a court of law - anything you say can and WILL be used against you. The CEO is cowardly, lazy, and only cares to interact with you if he is personally gaining something from it. He will sit in his office all day on the phone, speaker blasting, as he attempts to salvage already-doomed business deals. The “COO” is a joke. No experience with marketing, complete micromanager, and has the personality of a blank sheet of paper. I use quotations around “COO,” because that’s not what he is. He is a glorified project manager with zero people skills. - They expect you to work overtime with no overtime benefits. - Remote work is not a possibility because the CEO wants to get his money’s worth out of the overpriced office. - The “unlimited PTO” policy is not real. Do not buy into this. - There is no opportunity for continued education. No seminars or paid courses. - Don’t be fooled by the glitz-and-glam of the office. There is no funding to do anything remotely fun. - If you do as much as LOOK like you’re having fun, the piece-of-cardboard-“COO” will pull a horrible “working hard or hardly working?” joke. - The CEO and COO are sexist, racist, classist, and just about any negative “-ist” one can think of. - Boredom is part of the job. As the owner continues to lose respect from every business in Knoxville, one can only assume the workload will not increase. Overall best advice: decline The CEO’s interview opportunity. He found you from stalking people on LinkedIn, since no one will apply to work for him.

There is no structure to anything. The PMs are over worked, the devs are underskilled, and there is no accountability in leadership for any of this. Seems to be in a "rebound" phase for a long time. Have had entire dev team quit and have been unable to keep a standard employee workforce for more than few months at a time. You should not work here. It is not worth your time. You are more valuable than they think you are.
