Perpetua reviews about "transparency"

Leadership Lack of Transparency Growth Opportunities Pay Favoritism

Management has no clue what they are doing, they treat the company as a place to make room for the friends they like not the people that work hard. The software has a lot of issues and they lose a lot of customers. Zero transparency

no desire whatsoever to update anything in the company or establish processes. no leadership, especially among c-suite. everyone is inexperienced, presumptive, and rude. they'll be incredibly condescending and treat you like a child if they think you aren't getting it, but make no effort to actually coach. your training and onboarding is entirely dependant on a 19 year olds goodwill and whether or not they want to be your friend. people move roles all the time and there is no separation between duties. it creates so much confusion and no one knows who is responsible for what. women don't get as many opportunities as men, and women are expected to be obedient and subservient. the men can treat you like garbage and HR will just shrug their shoulders at you, but if you stand up for yourself then suddenly you're receiving negative performance reviews out of nowhere with no examples or context of what exactly is wrong. they claim they want more processes, but have fired everyone in the last year who has tried to put any together. not a friendly place for neuro-diversity. everyone is expected to be on the same wave or you're "not a good fit". HR will claim to offer support, but nothing you tell them is confidential and will get offended if you say anything critical at all about the company. expect everyone to know your business. co-president is an abusive, gaslighting egomaniac who will call you outside your working hours just to convenience him. he will also make the office a hostile environment for you if you do not allow him to bully you into cutting corners for him. salaries are much lower than the industry standard, and they mostly hire new-grads who don't know their rights or have no experience. the only reason the product does so well is because they're partnered with amazon AE's. if they didn't get those referrals, they wouldn't be considered a leader in the industry. promotions are based on nepotism and favouritism. if you brown-nose the c-level execs, you can basically do whatever you want with no repercussions. they don't care about accountability. they just want someone to blame when something goes wrong, so most people hide their mistakes. if you try to own up to something and come up with a resolution, then they'll hold it over your head until you quit or get fired. mistakes are never forgiven. literal temper tantrums when something internal needs to change, and the c-level execs just let is happen. most leadership makes the mistake of assuming that being condescending is the same as being constructive. it's like working for that 16 year old manager you had in high school. there is no transparency on performance or business needs. you are left guessing, and if something is wrong you'll be in for a nasty surprise.

OVERALL: Has been the worst, mis-managed SaaS company I've worked for to date; with 9 years of experience in the bank. It's definitely lost its way after multiple acquisitions and lots of changes; leading to a very volatile unstable environment. Overall lots of benefits and culture of this company has been lost. MISMANAGED Management definitely does not have their priorities in order. The company invests heavily in executive travel, dinners and discretionary spend while laying off the team multiple times. All while jet setting executives around the word and getting the previous CEO a rental in a luxury Toronto for visits. Despite saying there will be no layoffs in public forums, the company has little/no controls around funding the lavish life of management. MANAGEMENT Management overall lacks transparency and demonstrates very little leadership in their leading of the organization. They make temporary promises in public forums that they cannot keep or later go back on. My role worked closely cross-functionally with leadership; and it was evident that experience was lacked in many of the C-suite roles. A result from fast un-deserved promotions from the toxic environment that has taken over the company. OPPORTUNITIES The company has little/no development plans for employees; no goal setting or no feedback process. Promotions (and hires) seem to be on nepotism and who ever is in the 'boys club'. Very little based on actual merit or experience or knowledge in the field. Hence lots of unqualified and inexperienced people in many senior roles in which then snowballs to the many issues it faces today. BIPOC For a company that's so driven on 'innovation' and being the forefront of trends; the company is terribly represented in all levels when evaluating diversity and BIPOC. Evident in all levels, you'll see the lack of BIPOC.
