Procurify Reviews

Communication: - company-wide WhatsApp group communication (70+ people) in addition to email and Slack - say one thing, act the opposite - leadership and team members don't communicate effectively or efficiently - feedback is given in terms of "do X or you're not a cultural fit" - the independence or diversity of team members is not encouraged or celebrated - the answer to everything is more meetings, regardless of effectiveness Leadership: - sink or swim approach translates into new team members not being supported and feeling isolated - overall lack of strong leadership and ontological soundness - disorganization is rewarded, processes are considered evil and ineffective ("think of Netflix", they say) - customer success believes that "customers are idiots" - leadership constantly acts on an "ad-hoc" basis and consistently no-shows 1 on 1 meetings Product: - much of the product is manual - the selling point of the product is "we have to lie until it becomes reality" HR Practices: - salaries are consistently low-balled - work-life balance is non-existent and everyone is expected to work outside office hours - you will be hired on the basis that the team lacks your strengths, and you will be fired on the basis that you lack the team's strengths - promises were made at the hiring stage that didn't come to fruition for many employees - at the company-wide anniversary celebration, many team members dressed up in dark skin toner, emulating black face. - you have to bring your own laptop and, while they provide stand up desks, you have to pay for your own ergonomic setup (no mats for the concrete floors)

Things are very disorganized - ok, fine, "start up culture". Meetings were often scheduled but no one would show up without cancelling - sometimes multiple times a day. There is no sense of responsibility or accountability or respect for the time of your coworkers. Because most of the staff are very young and were friends with each other or knew each other before joining Procurify, they buy into typical start up platitudes about greatness from management but at the same allow themselves to be pushed beyond the limits of acceptable work environments or employment law while being underpaid for their skillset. A team once slept at the office on air mattresses working until 2am for nearly a week to meet a deadline that ended up getting pushed back anyways. If you try to take initiative to help organize things, or make suggestions, you are seen as stirring the pot and causing issues, or not embracing start up culture or the young vibe of the company. Complaints about things such as mouldy food on the kitchen counter left out for weeks were met with a shrug and "it's start up life". They say they want to "unlock the potential of every individual" and support all staff all the time but they fire people without warning based on internal gossip and not job performance. When they let staff go they take many weeks to issue final pay (should be issued in 48 hours), don't file ROEs, etc. and then try to claim that employees were contractors after the fact to get out of paying vacation pay. Saw lots of sexual harassment and they have the stance of "If you are the type of person to complain about this then you aren't a good fit for our culture" ... this included all three cofounders literally chasing female staff while drunk on a corporate retreat and trying to encourage them to engage in sexual acts. The internal joke is that their "HR Complaint Box" is a garbage can.
