InterWorks reviews about "ceo"

The CEO bit off more than he can chew. InterWorks was great when it was a small company, but now that it's grown, the CEO cannot handle the size. He makes terrible decisions for the greater population, but great decisions for his little boy's club.

i wasn't planning on writing a review, but after talking to some people who still work at interworks, i decided to share my experience having worked there years ago. the whole company is a circlejerk for the CEO. The CEO and his best friends are all that matter. they can say or do whatever they want to do, and nothing will ever come of it. You can have a whole company of people who want one thing, but if the CEO disagrees, tough luck. He is willing to let everybody leave just to get what he wants. this company is a lawyers dream come true, and a sinking ship. i will not be suprrised someday when i see all the lawsuits coming out of interworks. People in the Stillwater office are constantly drunk, drinking, and pushing alcohol on their coworkers. not even on fridays, every day of the week. it's an alcoholic paradise. the employee handbook has no policies to protect the people. they just expected everyone to get along, and play nice. and when the boys club didn't play nice, it was a slap on the wrist and 'ok it's handled'. they treat their hr people like garbage. they treat women like garbage. they treat anyone who isn't the stillwater backwards culture like garbage. I would not go back here. And I would not listen to the higher-star reviews. It seems like a great place the first year or two, and then you get to see the real side of interworks and the monsters come out. or should i say, the c-suite comes out.

InterWorks is a company that appears to be thriving on the surface, but beneath the glossy exterior lies a disheartening truth about its work environment, leadership, and overall employee experience. My time at InterWorks left me deeply disappointed, and I feel compelled to share my negative experiences with this company. First and foremost, let's talk about the CEO, Behfar. While he may project an image of success and leadership, his actions speak louder than words. It's evident that he doesn't genuinely care about his employees. Behfar seems more focused on his personal ambitions and ego, often disregarding the concerns and needs of the people who work tirelessly to make InterWorks successful. This lack of empathy from the top sets a concerning tone for the entire organization. InterWorks also appears to be trapped in a time warp, resembling a boys' club rather than a modern workplace. The company's culture is far from inclusive, and it often feels like a fraternity where a select few hold all the power. Women and minorities at InterWorks are marginalized, and their voices are seldom heard. This antiquated approach to workplace culture is not only regressive but also a significant roadblock to fostering innovation and diversity. The return to the office after the COVID-19 pandemic has been nothing short of disastrous for InterWorks' culture. Instead of embracing the lessons learned during remote work and adopting a more flexible approach, the company's insistence on returning to the traditional office setting has ruined the culture. Employees are now forced to endure long commutes and rigid office hours, all of which could have been avoided to provide a better work-life balance. In conclusion, my time at InterWorks was marked by disappointment, a disconnected CEO, a boys' club culture, and a return to the office that did more harm than good. This company needs to seriously rethink its leadership style, culture, and approach to work in the 21st century if it hopes to retain and attract top talent and improve the employee experience. Until then, I would strongly caution anyone considering a career at InterWorks to think twice.

We got too big. We had a strategic partnership that enticed us to grow in ways that weren’t actually healthy or true to who we want to be, and as that partnership has receded we have gone through a multi-year rightsizing action that finally feels close to over. I’ll note that this hasn’t meant layoffs. Despite what some other reviewers have said about leadership being callous and out of touch, the reality is they are so allergic to upending livelihoods that they’d rather pick other struggles, or turn down lines of business that we can’t pivot to quickly as a result of wanting to keep everyone who continues to choose InterWorks. Depending on who you are and how you view things this could be a pro, but it has made many things harder too.
