Blend Reviews

- Non-collaborative and disrespectful culture - lots of favoritism: it’s not about what you know, but who you know - too many “superstars” who think they can do whatever they want and often with management blessing - managers’ favorites can ask for unrealistic expectation and if you don’t commit, you will be blamed for “slowing down the business” - some managers have a “my way or the highway” attitude All of these contributed to the high number of employees’ departure since the company inception, including 4 executives leaving the company within a span of 2 weeks.

Company Culture is T.O.X.I.C - The touted company principles are window dressing at best, there is no trabsparency of what is happening one week to the next. People show up to work drunk, still high from narcotics over the weekend, have emotional outbursts in meetings, even peeing in office trashcans. Dogs pooping in the office is a regular discussion on Slack. Micromanagement ("Pacing" as referred to internally) is used heavily behind closed doors. HR team is clueless on employee engagement, and Inclusion (the D&I leader left after 6months). InfoSec operates from a position of Paranoia. IT is nested under InfoSec and the CISO is ill equipped to run both teams. Strategic Planning is not part of standard operating procedure. Everyday is firefighting above and beyond the level of other startups. Literally things catch fire in the office due to lack of common sense.
