Cons
- The first 90 days of a new employee is in a way an extension of the job interview process. They won't issue new hires tools such as office keys to gain access to the workplace or other tools until after the first 90 days. They are very non-committal to new hires and treat new hires with blatant skepticism. So, if you go use the bathroom down the hall you may end up waiting until another employee lets you back into the office. The office doesn't have a doorbell and you won't get a key for the first 90 days. - It appears that permanent FTE hires are actually temp-to-perm. If the leadership is not 100% not pleased by you, they will let you go within the first 90 days. - They frequently fire people within weeks of hire or the first 90 days if the executives don't get a good vibe about the new employee, irrespective of the employee's performance. - New employees don't receive documented and clear feedback regarding their performance. New employees are assessed subjectively rather than objectively. - Middle Managers are Marionettes. There is only one executive person who makes all the decisions, and that person micromanages everyone and everything. - There are several employees who are known as the spies for one executive. As a result, the office culture feels like a police state. The leadership is paranoid that employees gossip about executives or ridicule the executives if they see employees congregate or talk to each other in the office. It is a very toxic workplace. - The leadership is not consistent, forgetful and disorganized. They forget their previous orders and then criticize employees for doing what they had demanded earlier. They don't apologize for unjustified criticism. - The executives switch from acting juvenile to short-tempered and hostile towards their employees and employees of their subsidiary. - The leadership makes themselves feel better by putting other people down. - The leadership appears weak, afraid and lacks confidence in themselves. - The leadership diverts employee’s energy from the real work of the organization, destroy morale, impair retention, and interfere with collaborativeness, and information sharing. - Executives lack emotional intelligence.
