- Staff is walking on eggshells. Management is self-serving. -Broken promises to my coworkers on a variety of issues. Three employees were hired with the expectation of flexible hours and the ability to occasionally work from home to be with their children. This was a lie and someone has since been fired because of this conflict -The contract you sign is near worthless. Management increases your quota as they please while imposing restrictions on the sales team. They do not value hard work and achievement like a startup should. - Terrible expectation setting. Many employees have been sold false promises of equity in the company, benefits, upward mobility, growth plans. -Account Executives regularly miss out on their hard earned commission due to lack of customer support on the front end which causes frequent customer churn. -Hiring people with little relevant experience. - Expected to work and only work when in the office. No downtime. This is not a "work hard, play hard" atmosphere. -Management far too focused on saving money.

Portrayed as a landscape hierarchy but differs per department. Some departments has 3-4 levels to pass through before you reach the executive team. This hinders productivity and communication when you want to get ideas across, ideas and thoughts don’t get the P&C and filtered because it is being discussed on personal level and eventually become water cooler talk. And of course, your career growth hits the ceiling in this structure. Is it really necessary to have that many levels in a small start-up? Selective transparency that would benefit the management. For example, the announcements of the people leaving and discontinuation of exit interviews. It seems like TG don’t value feedbacks for improvement? Details of employees referring potential candidates are not properly checked or never mattered. This leads to divided loyalty when friends/family members work for each other. Unknowingly, creating a bond of alliance or a farm of 'sacred cows'. Executive team can’t figure out where the politics and information leaks aka gossips are coming from. TG Culture is often being talked about but what is TG culture? In 2016, activities such as trampoline and bubble soccer are held but not everyone participates, turn up rate could be as low 15 people. It’s fun, it’s free but what is TG Culture?
