Worst company I have ever worked for

Pros

You can pick up on French since that's what the owner and managers speak most of the time, in the same right you have no ideas whats going on.

Cons

French startup with poorly executed services, run by college grads, the office is tiny and unsanitary...to say the least. Worst employment and management experience I have ever had. They make staff lie to potential clients.

Pros

Travel, learn how to organize and run events

Cons

start up mess (disorganized, lack of processes and tools, lack of proper training, lack of leadership, high turnover) without the start up benefits (stimulating environment, exciting products, stock, funding, perks, culture ). Strange office dynamics here, folks don't talk to each other much throughout the day, everyone looks miserable staring into their computers, strict 9-6 work hours (expect to text/email HR and your team should you be running 10 min late), no happy hours. Expect to be micromanaged at every corner, both by your managers and your peers, very demotivating. Event days are especially chaotic and disorganized. Employees talk down at each other disrespectfully. Once I got hired, it came to my attention that in the past employees left after their first day of training, I can see why. I can only wish I had left sooner. Overall frustrating experience was topped off by the way the company decided to part ways - by emailing me a termination letter with a lawyer cc'ed. Really?! Have the courage and respect to tell your employees in person. BeMyApp is a stepping stone for most folks here, so as long as you understand and accept the frustrations, you might be ok. But unless you are dying to be in the event industry or your rent is due tomorrow, I'd say look elsewhere. Good luck.

BeMyApp Response

BeMyApp would respectfully like to clarify this misleading review by addressing the following: 1. With any newly established business, it is expected (and often required) to work together through the challenges and learning curves of executing best practices. We believe we have overcome many major hurdles (prior to this employee’s departure) and are currently on a continuous path of testing, creating and implementing protocol and tools. 2. BeMyApp is quickly becoming the leading developer relations agency of it’s kind that now reaches worldwide. With the busiest season we’ve ever had, and no sight of slowing down, exciting products and benefits within the company are considered on an opinion based bias. 3. If we were miserable, we wouldn’t work here. If you are hired to be at a job, any job, at a specific time, it is expected you do so. In the event you are running behind (unhabitual), a heads up is all we ask. 4. An event logistics coordinator’s main priority is to lead the organization of all logistical details regarding event’s planning and execution. This includes vendor and staff vetting and scheduling, cue sheet and set-up delegation and proper budget resolution. This employee quickly demonstrated behavior in which we could not trust those job requirements to be executed. With the responsibility of organizational productivity comes the rigor of attention to detail, ability to successfully troubleshoot in time sensitive situations, and professionally and precisely communicate with coworkers and hired help. Unfortunately, we did not get the opportunity to see these qualities in this individual. 5. This employee sadly had the nature for repetitive unprofessional and inappropriate verbal aggressiveness towards colleagues. The decision for a virtual termination was made in respect and best interest for the current employee’s protection and work flow. In closing, BeMyApp would like to apologize for this unfortunate public parting of ways. We’ve since adjusted our employee recruitment process to mind better attention to past career experience and proven success in similar fields.

Pros

Great team of talented, motivated people, work is challenging and interesting, great networking opportunities with career-growing potential

Cons

Cannot hold on to valuable team members, extremely high turnover. Performance review and feedback is done chaotically and unprofessionally. Raises are very inconsistent and don't follow a logical pattern aka yearly, quarterly etc. Team building, team motivating, and company culture are the lowest possible priorities for management. Management is a big fan of micromanaging, has trust issues and is consistently suspicious of employees. Management criticises employees that are not in the room to all other employees who are and propagates a hostile, fear-driven work environment. Management asks employees to complete tasks without giving direction, then proceeds to insult their work for not meeting unclear expectations. Management considers that approach to be an effective learning tool and would rather let employees figure things out and waste more time in the process, rather than training them effectively and efficiently. Management filters everything through their own experience, intuition and ability and expects everyone to work the same way as them, match their level of performance, and the number of hours committed to the job, despite drastically lower pay for team members. Management doesn't understand the value of time off, a healthy work-life balance and getting off work on time.
