Not worth your mental health - Anonymous employee Aquatic Informatics Employee Review

- A typical startup attempting to scale aggressively without the necessary resources, budget, or infrastructure to support that growth. - Little to no onboarding, training, or support is provided to help employees succeed in their roles. - Leadership and management practices feel outdated. While support and development opportunities are limited, there is no shortage of pressure, passive-aggressive communication, and condescending behavior. - Work-life balance is non-existent. Meetings are scheduled as early as 6:00 a.m. and as late as 9:00 p.m., with an expectation that employees will attend regardless of personal commitments. - The organization lacks structure and clear processes. There are few established workflows, systems, or resources, leaving employees to figure things out on their own while working long hours, including evenings and holidays. - The company appears to be understaffed and lacks adequate tools and automation, resulting in a significant amount of manual and operational work. - HR support is minimal. Despite promoting a "people-first" culture, concerns about burnout and workload are often met with a lack of empathy or support. - Priorities and KPIs changed frenquently depending on the management perception of what was possible than by available data, resources, budget or realistic planning. - High level of turnover. People disappear with little or no communication, creating uncertainty. - The culture strongly rewards overwork and promotes a workaholic mindset, making it difficult to maintain healthy boundaries.
