Beware! - Anonymous employee Mersive Employee Review

Where to begin... Complete lack of communication. Once a project or initiative starts the communication ends. Management doesn’t seem to understand they need to tell employees what’s going on, we can’t read your mind. And make sure everyone who is involved has all the info needed to do their job. Once management makes a decision to do something the communication ends with them and somehow everyone else should just know what to do. You are expected to work 24/7. If you get an email at any time you better respond. Don’t plan on taking any time off and enjoying it. Someone will call/text/email you the whole time. Including holidays and weekends. And you better plan on long days in the office. If you aren’t at your desk or in your office for 12+ hours a day you aren’t working hard enough. Management walks around the office after 5 to see who’s still there and takes note. Even if you are done with your work at 4:30 and maybe you got in a little early that day, you better stay put until after 5. If you don’t look stressed out of your mind then clearly you aren’t working hard enough. There is ABSOLUTELY NO work/life balance. At all. Forget any personal life or life outside the office. Mersive comes before EVERYTHING else, including family, friends, health, etc. Oh yeah, and don’t plan on working from home. They say it’s ok but it’s not. It’s because management can’t keep tabs on you like they can at the office. They don’t trust employees to work from home so you better be in the office. Compensation/Promotions. Ha! The only way to get a raise is to kiss management’s butt. Not based on merit or actual hard work. If you play their game of sitting at your desk for 12 hours a day (even if you are on Facebook or online shopping) then you will get a raise. The titles and promotions are also a joke. Same as before, if you can kiss butt but suck at your job, you’ll get a promotion! That may seem cool but it’s a total slap in the face to the truly hardworking, good employees there. Employee development. None. No reviews, plans or goal setting. Employees must take the initiative, nothing comes from management. They don’t care to develop employees and want to help reach their career goals and potential. They put people in management roles (not company management but have people reporting to them) and they give no training or help what so ever.
