Worst place I have ever worked - Remote Support Engineer Coretelligent Employee Review

Coretelligent is at an important and exciting stage in its growth. Like many rapidly scaling companies, it is strengthening processes, accountability, and the operating foundation needed for its next phase. The company has a strong executive leadership team focused on getting those fundamentals right, supported by a highly reputable private equity partner with resources and a long-term perspective. There are talented people across the organization, meaningful client work, and real opportunities to make an impact. It is a great environment for people who are adaptable, enjoy building and improving, and want to be significant contributors to the company’s continued growth and evolution.

The pace of change can be challenging, and some processes and communication practices are still maturing. Priorities can shift as the company works to create greater consistency and alignment across teams.

Fully remote. That's quite literally the only perk.

The entire organization operates in a state of constant chaos. In my short time there, nearly the entire executive team was replaced. One executive even left after just a single day. Leadership changes seem to be the company’s go-to solution for every problem, yet there is no clear direction or consistent strategy. Turnover is incredibly high for a company of around 200 employees, with several people leaving each week. Cash flow issues are severe, vendors frequently go unpaid, and daily operations suffer as a result. Promised raises and bonuses are continually delayed, seemingly to outlast the ever-churning staff. Even the bonus structure was so poorly explained that it left most people confused. Hearing senior leaders admit that the company could fail if customer losses continue does little to inspire confidence or loyalty. Meanwhile, employees are pressured to complete questionnaires labeled “optional” that end with questions such as “If you were offered another job for the same pay, would you leave?” That kind of tone shows how disconnected leadership is from the reality of how staff truly feels. Who would honestly answer an “anonymous” question like that? Hard work is not valued or rewarded. Roles continue to be outsourced overseas to cut costs. The company even misleads employees about leadership being on “paternity leave” as a way to stall, only for people to later find out that person was laid off. If you are considering an offer here, think carefully. No matter how desperate the job market may seem, this company’s instability and poor management make it a short-term stop at best.
