Recent layoff - Anonymous employee TrustEngine Employee Review

The people I worked with were decent, honestly, and the office location wasn't terrible for commute.

The transparency issue at trustengine is genuinely maddening, and I'm not exaggerating — leadership operates on this obsessive need-to-know basis where you're kept in the dark about literally everything until it affects your work directly, which honestly gets old really fast. Strategic decisions would just... happen, and you'd find out three weeks later that something changed fundamentally, and nobody bothered explaining the why or the context or even a heads-up you'd just be left scrambling to figure out what shifted and why things were suddenly being restructured. It felt like working in a place where information was currency and management was hoarding it, treating transparency like it was a treat instead of basic professional courtesy, and that created this weird atmosphere where you're constantly second-guessing yourself because you don't have the full picture. People would ask me about direction strategy and I'd be standing there with maybe 60% of the information needed to give them a real answer, which is humiliating and makes you look unprepared when really you're just working blind. The whole thing made it impossible to do your job well because you're not informed you're just... managed through ambiguity, and after a while you stop asking for clarity because it's pretty clear that clarity isn't coming.

You get to try different tasks

This place feels like it is falling apart. Leadership makes poor choices, and it affects everything. There is a lot of gaslighting when you bring up problems, along with disrespectful and dishonest responses. Morale is low, people keep leaving, and clients are dropping. The workload grows while the team gets smaller. Communication is unclear, and no one is on the same page. It is hard to feel secure in a place like this.
