Below market rate pay - Senior Manager SCENE Employee Review

- Location is prime with easy access to transit.

-Burnout culture is thriving at Scene+. Management actively celebrates overworking. Working evenings and weekends isn't just common; it’s an unstated requirement. Burnout is treated as a milestone & true dedication rather than a red flag. - There is a total lack of department-wide cohesion. Teams are frequently pitted against one another, and clear "favouritism" is displayed during town halls, when giving recognition on campaign launches, within funnelling promotions and overall resources; while the rest of teams are left to struggle with crushing workloads. - Consistent unrealistic expectations & chaos rule directions. Alignment is non-existent. Direction changes at the last minute based on partner demands, yet employees are expected to deliver results "with a snap of the fingers." This is coupled with heavy micromanagement from VPs who clearly do not trust their teams to execute. - While they like to say member focus is a key pillar, the company’s primary objective is the happiness and profits of the partners, often at the direct expense of employee well-being. - The turnover is so high that three years of tenure makes you a "veteran." This speaks volumes about the long-term viability of a career here.

Good people in general and a solid worklife balance. Summer Fridays in the summer.

Not a lot of upward mobility.
