Pros
Friendly HR: The HR team is genuinely supportive and approachable. They create a welcoming atmosphere for employees, making it easy to address any concerns. Fair Compensation: I found the pay at to be fair and reflective of the industry standards. Generous PTO and Volunteer Hours: Topia provides generous PTO, including volunteer hours. This demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being and community engagement.
Cons
Lack of Communication and Transparency: Unfortunately, my experience took a downturn when there was a lack of communication from my direct supervisor. Weekly one-on-one calls were avoided for a month, leading to uncertainty and, ultimately, my layoff. Issues with Senior Management: I observed a pattern of rudeness and condescension from senior management. This created a challenging environment, hindering positive collaboration across teams. Lack of Support in Conflicts: When conflicts arose with our teams, I felt unsupported by my direct supervisor. Having guidance and support during such times is crucial, and the absence of it added to the challenges. Concerns of Bias: It's disheartening to express that some of the challenges I faced felt to be influenced by race and sex. I believe there's room for improvement in fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace culture. Morale Downturn: Over the past year, I've observed a notable decrease in morale within the company. Employees seem to lack enthusiasm and confidence in the company's performance.
