High workload, high pressure, okay pay, toxic environment - Anonymous employee Circular Materials Employee Review

CM has been a great experience, starting from the recruiting process which was made smooth by their amazing recruiter, all the way to now. I really appreciate how responsive and smooth recruiting was especially with how many companies ghost candidates nowadays or take forever to reply. The onboarding was very smooth and they even scheduled 1 on 1s with all the senior managers, the fact that they all mad time to talk to me and offer advice says a lot about the work culture, which for me is the most important factor. Not to mention it is a fully remote company. They also try very hard to make time to connect with people and make it intentional since we're not in a physical office.

The only con I can think of is that it is fully remote, so if that isn't for you it might be hard. In my case, that is one of the reasons I love it ,and they do activities and meet ups in person as well as have an office but not a lot of people go there from what I've perceived.

Average market salary and stable benefits package. Two summer days off during the year. Good opportunity to gain exposure to high-volume operations and complex processes. Some colleagues are collaborative

High workload combined with frequent shifting priorities and unclear expectations. Processes and workflows lack standardization, which can create inefficiencies and confusion across teams. Management style can feel overly controlling, with limited autonomy for employees. Limited opportunities for coaching, continuous learning, or long-term career growth. Feedback from operational and mid-level employees does not always appear to be incorporated into decision-making. Workplace culture may feel inconsistent depending on department and leadership style. Urgent requests and last-minute tasks are common, which can affect work-life balance and planning. Although positioned as remote, there has been an increasing expectation for office attendance over time, particularly for newer employees. Resistance to change and slow process improvement can make innovation challenging.
