Focus Insite reviews

The Founder/CEO is a micromanager to the extreme, but lacks an understanding of the functions of the business. When he notices something that he does not recognize or understand (which is most everything), he becomes very reactive and will be harsh to whoever is involved.. He will interfere with projects and insert himself, even if his assistance is not needed. There is a lack of transparency, such as resignations, layoffs, and finances. He over promises to clients and sets the team up so that underdelivering is inevitable. Promotions usually don’t come with any significant pay raise and there is hardly any chance of financial growth beyond a promotion. Given the amount of work you are expected to do, the pay is significantly lower than industry standards.

In the few years I worked at Focus Insite, the CEO loved to emphasize the importance of one of their CORE Values; Own It. Unfortnately, he failed to follow through on this core value on every occasion, always placing blame on the employees under him and never accepting fault of his own. There was constant shaming and blaming happening, no matter the circumstances. Additionally, any honest mistake made (since we are humans, that is inevitable to happen) would be held over you, used as a weapon in communications with him. I never felt truly relaxed working there. I always felt like I had to walk on eggshells, keep quiet, and bite my tongue when situations became inapproriate in the workplace. To add on, you will be asked to take on responsibities outside of your role, and are expected to accept them. If you don't accept them (even if you don't have the capacity to take on additional work), you will be looked down upon, told you are not a team player, and will never hear the end of it. I strongly advise anyone looking at working here to take the time and truly read all the negative reviews, as they stand true.
