Appspace Reviews

I used to work at Igloo Software and I am glad I have moved onward to a new company. I was browsing the reviews, and saw the response given by an HR BP - the traditional HR 'in-the-box' response. **Before change can be happen and perhaps it begin within HR ?? Maybe an awakening can begin, so read the following below: - HR people seem to take the company's side in any interaction, never the employee's side. - HR staff members are not impartial or fair. Their desire to keep their jobs, and earn a bigger salary and their next promotion, keep them from acknowledging the legitimate employee point of view. - HR people stand idly by while incompetent executives, get promoted. - HR people often spout policy instead of actively getting involved to remove roadblocks their employees face. - HR people are not viewed as trustworthy, even though they say, "Tell me what's on your mind!" - HR people often "know HR" but don't know anything about the business they work for. - HR people are seen as political and more concerned with their own place in the company's pecking order than with the welfare of the team. - HR people talk more about policies, benefits and other announcements than they talk about culture, fear, trust, conflict or any of the million human issues that arise in every organization. - HR people often have trouble seeing the "human side" of any issue, from a time-off request to a variation in a pay-grade or a hiring issue, focusing instead on keeping every process uniform and exception-free. - HR people should be Ministers of Culture in their organizations, BUT exists only to protect the company. Any protection of a person/employee/salary slave is a random by-product of protecting the company (aligned with a process).

The single most toxic work environment ever. You have been warned. Heed the warnings in this review and all the other honest reviews. Sort by date, not by popularity because Igloo promotes their fake and forced positive reviews so they appear at the top. You will absolutely hate working here. The CEO is horrible and everything reflects him. Read how many times the CEO is called out in these honest reviews. The HR responses are clearly written by him. The "HR" invites to have a private discussion are invites to fire you. To those I will leave behind, there are thousands of other jobs you can get. It is a buyers market. You are not stuck at Igloo. Get out now. Literally any other company will be better.
