I think everyone's experiences at a company can be different, but it is staggering how many stories I have shared with current and previous employees that are similar:
-Overworking members of the team to the point where they have to cancel vacation plans because a project was mismanaged
-blaming members working on projects for something that was poorly worded in the contract to the customer
-"asking" employees to not fulfill contracts with customers because certain items were overpromised and they were trying to find a way out any way they could
-the company went through layoffs and instead of laying off employees, they were PIP'd for the smallest infractions in order to find an excuse to fire them
-an outside consultant was brought in to teach the upper management on how to PIP employees successfully without risking a lawsuit
Overall I had a horrible experience during my time here. I spoke with several members after my departure, some at the company and some already gone, who experienced the same thing. It seemed to stem from upper management/executive level working to "trim the fat" after over hiring during covid because they wanted to seem profitable for the equity firm that was taking over. We were encouraged to put up 5* reviews on glassdoor because HR noticed we were starting to look bad. Since my departure, numerous upper management level employees and executives have since moved jobs elsewhere, probably noticing a sinking ship feeling. The company was poorly run, contracts were written on a whim with no idea of how much T&M would actually go into them. employees were encouraged to fudge their timesheets in order to make projects come in under budget. I think there are some great members who work here and mean well, but ultimately I think poor management coupled with disasterous decision making and company culture will run you out the door.
