Instem reviews

Complete lack of leadership at the CEO and senior management level. No communication, no defined strategy, no sense of shared responsibility, no basic organizational competence. They try to cover this up with HR window dressing initiatives that are meaningless because there is no change from the top.

The company has had much turmoil in the past 2-3 years. We had a major layoff of 60 employees (handful of which were very good, productive workers) in early 2024 which resulted in more work with no pay increases. Tons of pressure and unrealistic expectations for employees, a decrease in pay and career opportunities, tons of stress and worry about the future with little to no real communication or empathy. If you live in the USA, the healthcare package is poor. Very basic with almost nothing covered. No defined career paths or understanding of where you can move within the company. No training or encouragement from upper management. Departments are siloed. There is poor communication between departments. It doesn't feel like the same company when working with other teams. That could be because of poor management or how the former C-Suite ran things, hoping for a change in the near future.
