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.
