Do you despise work-life balance? Hate your family? Come to ST! - Anonymous employee Symphony Talent Employee Review

Listen. Every organization has its faults. I've never worked somewhere and thought, "This place is perfect." That being said, this is, by far, over the course of my entire professional life, the worst place I have ever worked. There is absolutely no strategic direction at all. Oh, but what about the company culture? If you like feeling like you have to defend every decision you make HOURLY for things far out of your control, then this culture is for you. If you despise family dinners and prefer the taste of cold spaghetti, eaten alone at your kitchen counter, you'll fit right in. I have never met so many combative leaders in my life. There is absolutely zero accountability, and when there's a problem, everyone goes straight to who can be blamed first. I don't think "collaboration" is a word in anyone's dictionary here. Every single person is so overwhelmed. This last round of cuts has been so harsh on the people who are left behind to pick up the pieces. Oh, and you're judged if you aren't sharing your camera at all times, so say goodbye to actually eating lunch or going for a walk, like, ever. Honestly, most people are too busy digging out of the emails in their inbox and never-ending list of to-do's to do that, anyway. At least I'm losing some weight. Malnutrition, shmalnutrition!
