Botrista reviews

Botrista is excellent at marketing itself externally and internally. Leadership is good at making employees feel special, important, and connected to a bigger mission. The issue is that the lived experience does not always match that message. Growth opportunities and recognition can feel dangled without clear follow-through. Feedback and expectations may be vague until they suddenly become performance issues. Terminations can feel abrupt and framed around “performance” without a clear documented path showing what went wrong, what support was offered, or how the employee was expected to improve. The culture can be politically charged and difficult to trust. People may appear supportive while acting in ways that protect themselves or undermine others. Advancement often seems tied less to collaboration and more to positioning, perception management, and proximity to leadership. The result is an environment where employees may initially feel valued, only to later feel disposable.

- Toxic C-Suite leadership who will gaslight you. Power harassment is common and tolerated, with leadership frequently openly talking down to employees in meetings. Don't even bother going to HR as chances of retaliation can be high. - Your work experience here will be highly dependent on luck. If you end up with a capable manager who can shield you from the chaos and toxicity of senior leadership, you're in luck. Otherwise, be prepared to have impossible and ambiguous goals set for you, setting you up for failure. When things go south, you will definitely be thrown under the bus. - Failure for leadership as a company to stick to ANY strategy. The CEO is constantly coming up with ideas out of thin air and pushing for teams to execute without actually thinking through resources and impact. Constant change not only makes it chaotic for employees but also for the customers they serve. But Botrista never really cared for their customers anyway. - Lack of transparency. Leadership constantly looking into ways to fudge numbers to make themselves look good, to both investors AND customers. But for those who are in the weeds, we know better.
