The House is On Fire but it's Business as Usual - Anonymous employee Aduro Employee Review

This is a small wellness company that wants to be Apple, Beats, or Amazon. The priorities are broken, focused on commodity capitalism that is poison to the companies actual product which is Human Performance/Wellness. Money is squandered on large event participation, fancy parties, and then teams are told there are hiring freezes to even back-fill positions. It's always been a join the cult on or get shamed situation at ADURO, but recent massive leadership and employee turn over points to the house being actually on fire. Ownership is way too involved in certain aspects of the company therefore has too much personal stake and emotions involved to make good decisions. One owner in particular has never held a real job outside a company they own, touches every part of the business, is volatile, and SOMEHOW presides over HR. The bullying from different management levels means no real HR can exist. Constantly shifting buzzword culture mandates are exhausting after a year. Keeping up with what new branded self motivation/team tactic you're supposed to be "all in" on is absolutely draining. The salary is under market, the health insurance isn't great, as much as they'd like to claim the benefits package fully makes up for that. There's absolutely zero training, and they tend to hire people internally for positions they're unqualified for. This can be a huge bonus if you're looking to build your resume but a nightmare if you're trying to work with a product manager who was a coach twelve months ago.
