Zilch Technology Reviews

> In the weeks just before Christmas, 1/3 of the company was laid off with no prior warning, earlier this year all staff were assured that their jobs would all be safe for 18 months. > Career progression and learning development plans are promised and then never materialize. > Talented and enthusiastic people will join and leave within 3 months if not quietly terminated sooner. > Company social events have become uncomfortable occasions and are being scrapped to save money. > You will be required to work extra hours with no chance of getting paid for it if your role doesn't usually pay overtime. > Employees are told by chief members of staff to leave positive Glassdoor reviews. > USA launch has been scrapped, along with most of its employees. > Company is full of middle and micro-managers without any real experience. > Consistently oversells and underdelivers at the expense of employees, unwilling to admit hard times and leads employees into the dark.

I worked fo this company and really believed in waht they stood for but you quickly realize that they are actually disgusting and just a bunch of liars. Once you start, you are immediately warned about your productivity after a month, that is definitely not the way to set up a culture in a company, you don't want to lead by raising negative statements and trying to set up a conditioning situation the Pavlovian way or you definitely read the wrong books! They really take employees as stupid sheeps and think that because they read some books (not necessarily the right ones!) that they are leading you like sheeps. No evaluation process leading to a follow up of the employee performance nor taking care of how they feel and accompany them in their journey of the induction process which is inexistant... middle management can simply bully you to be fired based on if they like you or not and invent any pretext for it. it's just a disgusting mentality of people who arrived in the begining think themselves as being above anybody and think they are responsible of the company growth. I have never wrote such review but that is the worst company I worked for and I write this out of pure indignity and how they make you feel about yourself! Management is a complete disaster, absolutely clueless, some people have had ridiculous promotions to management level and started as junior less than 3 years ago!!! while they do not have the maturity nor the experience for it... that leads to them leading by ego. The new CTO is just a fraud, a perroquet to the CIO has no personality, no leadership, just repeating corporate statements he heard probably on movies, no semblance of intelligence or taking ownership and improving processes and calibration between Engineering Managers. I have never seen someone as imcompetent on top of that a shameless liar. The discussions on meetings with him are just ridiculous, I was ashamed to be on such meetings and listening to the way he takes decisions based on nothing but just irrational reasoning and some kind of stupid sense of humour ... Genuine advise: Don't waste your time if you are looking for a stable place to stay, evolve and learn... you can literally be fired if they don't like you in less than a month for any reason... some people have been fired for 'lack of communication' ... getting your chance to find something else somewhere else close to zero as they will give you a bad feedback!
